How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Teleport (effect type 252). Its area radius is 4 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

Shadowstep is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 50 yards and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it has a Teleport effect in a 4 yard radius and applies an aura.

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.
