  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 27.9878. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Spawn (effect type 46).

What it does

Deepening Shadows is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 5 min. When cast it has a Create Area Effect effect, deals Shadow damage (base value 27.9878) in a 10 yard radius and has a Spawn effect.
