Inflicts 12 Shadow damage to players and increases their damage taken from by 20% for 30 sec. This effect stacks.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 12. It applies the infected mechanic. Its area radius is 50000 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 255. Its base value is 20. It applies the infected mechanic. Its area radius is 100 yards.

What it does

Erupting Darkness is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 12) with the infected mechanic in a 50000 yard radius and applies an aura with the infected mechanic in a 100 yard radius. It stacks up to 10 times.

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.
