How it works

  3. Effect 3 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179). Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Chaos Wave is a Shadow spell with a 1.5 sec cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 111.951) in a 10 yard radius and has a Create Area Effect effect in a 10 yard radius.
