What it does

Malevolence is a Shadow spell with a 3 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 35) in a 45 yard radius and applies an aura in a 45 yard radius.

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.
