How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 30 times over the full 30 sec. It triggers Fatal Attraction.

What it does

Fatal Attraction is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Fatal Attraction (record #40870).

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.
