How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 140, which the datamine does not name. Its area radius is 500 yards. It triggers Dark Thoughts.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 500 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 500 yards.

What it does

Dark Thoughts is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). It also casts Dark Thoughts (record #223802).

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.
