How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). It triggers Black Skies.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Black Skies is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and an unlimited range. When cast it launches a missile. It also casts Black Skies (record #160782).

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.
