How it works

Each cast of Shadow Bolt costs 90 Mana. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Shadow Bolt is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 680. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is 50.

What it does

Shadow Bolt is a Shadow spell with a 2.5 sec cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 680) and applies an aura. It stacks up to 10 times.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70268. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
