Rips a hole in the fabric of reality draining 10 Sanity and inflicting 30 Shadow damage to all enemies.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 30. Its area radius is 300 yards. It triggers Sanity.
  2. Effect 2 is Power Burn (effect type 62). Its base value is 10. Its area radius is 300 yards.

What it does

Eternal Darkness is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and an unlimited range. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 30) in a 300 yard radius and burns a resource on the target (base value 10) in a 300 yard radius. It also casts Sanity.

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.
