Shadow spell.

Forbidden Ritual

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 2. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Forbidden Ritual is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 33. Its area radius is 3.25 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26. Its area radius is 2 yards.

What it does

Forbidden Ritual is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 33) in a 3.25 yard radius and applies an aura in a 2 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the rooted mechanic.

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.
