How it works

Divine Purpose is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 186. 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 185. Its base value is -2.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 50.

What it does

Divine Purpose 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 Wrath of the Lich King client, build 3.80.2.69874. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
