Power Burn

Tooltip

Hits an enemy with an anti-mana bolt. For each point of mana consumed by the bolt, the target takes damage.

How it works

Power Burn is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Power Burn (effect type 62). Its base value is 1000. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Interrupt Cast (effect type 68). It applies the interrupted mechanic.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.

What it does

Power Burn is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 1 sec. When cast it burns a resource on the target (base value 1000), interrupts spellcasting with the interrupted mechanic and 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.
