How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 100.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 20. Its area radius is 100 yards.

What it does

Malevolence is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and a range of 300 yards. When cast it has a Knock Back effect and deals Shadow damage (base value 20) in a 100 yard radius.
