  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. Its base value is 1000 per tick. Its area radius is 50000 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 12 times over the full 12 sec (12000 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 2000.

What it does

Shadow Prison is a Shadow spell with a 1.5 sec cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 50000 yard radius every 1 sec.

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.
