Dark Ritual

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 52. Its base value is 30. Its area radius is 3 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 239. Its base value is 50. Its area radius is 3 yards.

What it does

Dark Ritual is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 3 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.
