The Dimension Breaker creates a black hole nearby that inflicts Shadow damage to players standing within it.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 15 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 30 times over the full 30 sec (450 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 260.

What it does

Black Hole is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura.

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.
