How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3).
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). Its area radius is 5 yards. It triggers Nightfall.

What it does

Nightfall is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and a range of 100 yards. It also casts Nightfall (record #213786).

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.
