How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 225. Its area radius is 9 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 30.

What it does

Desolation is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and an unlimited range. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 225) in a 9 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.
