Fade to Black

How it works

Fade to Black is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 260.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 203, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Flight.

What it does

Fade to Black is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Flight.

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.
