Consuming Shadows

How it works

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 14 sec. It triggers Consuming Shadows.

What it does

Consuming Shadows is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura every 14 sec. It also casts Consuming Shadows (record #307436).

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.
