How it works

Each cast of Shadow Nova costs 95 Mana. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 4. Its area radius is 5 yards.

What it does

Shadow Nova is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 1.5 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 5 yard radius.

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.
