Leaving the central platform causes darkness to enshroud the player, inflicting 40 Shadow damage and reducing healing and damage done by 99% for 30 sec.

How it works

Enveloping Darkness is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 40. Its area radius is 500 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 79. Its base value is -99. Its area radius is 500 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 136. Its base value is -99. Its area radius is 500 yards.

What it does

Enveloping Darkness is a Physical spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 40) in a 500 yard radius and applies an aura in a 500 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.
