When you Shadowbolt, Incinerate or Soul Fire a target that is at or below 35% health, the cast time of your Soul Fire spell is reduced by 40% for 10 sec. Soul Fires cast under the effect of Decimation cost no shard.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 42. Its base value is 40. It triggers Decimation.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 35.

What it does

Decimation is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Decimation (record #63167).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Wrath of the Lich King client, build 3.80.2.69874. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
