How it works

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 15. Its area radius is 45 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 140, which the datamine does not name. Its area radius is 45 yards. It triggers Corrupted Blood.

What it does

Erupting Darkness is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 15) in a 45 yard radius. It also casts Corrupted Blood.

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.
