What it does

Dark Pulse is a Shadow spell with a 2.4 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Dark Pulse (record #296085).

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.
