Tooltip

The caster consumes the player in darkness, inflicting Shadow damage every 1 sec for 2 sec.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. It ticks every 1 sec, 2 times over the full 2 sec.

What it does

Enveloping Darkness is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 60 yards, a 3 sec cooldown and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec.
