Tears a hole in the fabric of reality for 30 sec, inflicting 67.1707 Physical damage to all players within the Black Hold every 1 sec. The mere existence of a Black Hole pulls all players towards its center.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179). Its area radius is 15 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179). Its area radius is 15 yards.

What it does

Black Hole is a Shadow spell with a 2 sec cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it has a Create Area Effect effect in a 15 yard radius.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
