How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 32. Its area radius is 200 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 312. Its area radius is 200 yards.

What it does

Darkness is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 200 yards and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura in a 200 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.
