How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 45 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 45 yards.

What it does

Gloom is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster).

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.
