Mana Burn

Tooltip

Hits an enemy with an anti-mana bolt that consumes up to 30 mana. For each point of mana consumed by the bolt, the target takes damage.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Power Burn (effect type 62). Its base value is 30. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

Mana Burn is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 10 yards and effects that last 0.0 sec. When cast it burns a resource on the target (base value 30) and 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.
