Za'qul opens a passage to the Fear Realm, conjuring a Horrific Summoner to appear at random destinations, inflicting 75.1213 Shadow damage to players and causing them to panic in fear for 6 sec.

How it works

Dark Passage is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 75. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 7. It applies the fleeing mechanic. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Dark Passage.

What it does

Dark Passage is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 300 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 75) in an 8 yard radius and applies an aura with the fleeing mechanic in an 8 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the fleeing mechanic. It also casts Dark Passage (record #299706).

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.
