Soul Drain

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 2625 per tick. Its area radius is 100 yards. It ticks every 3 sec, 10 times over the full 30 sec (26250 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 64. Its base value is 2625 per tick. Its area radius is 100 yards. It ticks every 3 sec, 10 times over the full 30 sec (26250 base in total).

What it does

Soul Drain is a Shadow spell with a 1 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 100 yard radius every 3 sec.

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.
