How it works

Each cast of Tainted Blood costs 75 Mana. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 42. Its base value is 17. It triggers Tainted Blood Effect.

What it does

Tainted Blood is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 1 min. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Tainted Blood Effect.

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.
