Inferno

Inferno, a Warlock Demonology ability, shows the same tooltip in WoW Forever as in Classic Era, but behind it the client changed a value the tooltip never prints on 1 of its 1 effect (1 to 50), and moved internal columns the tooltip does not show (maxLevel 0 to 60). The client does not say what that changes in play. 100% of base mana, 30 yd range, 2 sec cast, 60 min cooldown, requires level 50.
