How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 395.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. It ticks every 1 sec, 60 times over the full 1 min.

What it does

Nightmare Cloud is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 1 min. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 1 sec.

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.
