Explodes with otherworldly power, draining 5 Sanity and inflicting 30 Shadow damage to all players.

How it works

Maddening Eruption is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 30. It applies the infected mechanic. Its area radius is 300 yards. It triggers Sanity.
  2. Effect 2 is Power Burn (effect type 62). Its base value is 5. Its area radius is 300 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Deepening Madness.

What it does

Maddening Eruption is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and a range of 300 yards. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 30) with the infected mechanic in a 300 yard radius and burns a resource on the target (base value 5) in a 300 yard radius. It also casts Sanity and Deepening Madness.

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.
