You instantly deal X damage, and remove your Shadow damage-over-time effects from the target.
For 20 sec afterwards, the next target you cast Soul Swap: Exhale on will be afflicted by the Shadow damage-over-time effects and suffer X damage.
You cannot Soul Swap to the same target.
Soul Swap is a warlock ability learned at level 79 for those with the Affliction specialization. It deals damage, then removes the shadow DoTs from the warlock's target. For a brief period of time the warlock can then transfer the DoTs over to another target and deal more instant damage.
Use: Permanently teaches you this glyph. Your Soul Swap leaves your damage-over-time spells behind on the target you Soul Swapped from, but gives Soul Swap a 30 sec cooldown.
