How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 35.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 200.

What it does

Dark Bolt is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 35) and has a Knock Back effect.

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.
