How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 107. Its base value is -500. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 107. Its base value is -2000. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Bane 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 WoW Forever beta client, build 1.60.1.70532. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
