Tooltip

Azshara opens a rift into the Void that lasts for 10 min. Any player standing near the rift suffers 10 Shadow damage every 1 sec.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 10 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 260.

What it does

Nether Portal is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 300 yards and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura.

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.
