How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 8.3963. It applies the infected mechanic. Its area radius is 300 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 276. Its base value is 75.

What it does

Lantern of Darkness is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 8.3963) with the infected mechanic in a 300 yard radius and applies an aura. It stacks up to 9 times.

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.
