Oblivion Sphere

Tooltip

Summons an Oblivion Sphere near an player. The Oblivion Sphere charms all players.

While charmed, the sphere applies Annihilation.

Players remain under the sphere's control until they are knocked out of the sphere's area of influence. Attacking players under the effects of Oblivion Sphere will knock them back slightly.

When a player is freed, they trigger Crashing Oblivion.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 177. Its base value is 9999.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226.

What it does

Oblivion Sphere 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.

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.
