How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

What it does

Serious Wound is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 3 sec. The client files the whole spell under the bleeding mechanic.

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.
