Dimensional Siphon

Dimensional Siphon shows the same tooltip in WoW Forever as in Classic Era, but behind it the client changed the effect type on 1 of its 3 effects, changed a value the tooltip never prints on 1 of its 3 effects (600 to 10), removed 2 effects. The client does not say what that changes in play. Instant cast. It is the Equip effect of a Sword item the client lists without its name or tooltip.
