How it works

What it does

Darkness is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 150 yards and effects that last 28 sec. When cast it applies an aura.

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.
