Drain Mana

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Power Drain (effect type 8). Its base value is 500. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 77, which the datamine does not name. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Drain Mana is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and an unlimited range. When cast it drains a resource from the target (base value 500).

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.
