How it works

Soul Siphon is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 2. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 112. Its base value is 24.

What it does

Soul Siphon is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it applies an aura.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Burning Crusade client, build 2.5.6.70006. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
