What it does

Nightfall is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it applies an aura. It stacks up to 2 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.
