How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 19.6237. Its area radius is 300 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 136, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 50.

What it does

Consume Essence is a Shadow spell with a 10 sec cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 19.6237) in a 300 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.
