How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 120. Its area radius is 20 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Calamity Shard.

What it does

Calamity is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and a range of 300 yards. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 120) in a 20 yard radius. It also casts Calamity Shard.

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.
