How it works

Each cast of Dark Transformation costs 1 Power (22). Casting it triggers a 1 sec global cooldown.

Dark Transformation is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 79. Its base value is 100.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 56.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 61.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 61. Its base value is 65.

What it does

Dark Transformation is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it applies an aura.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70631. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
