Oblivion Sphere

Tooltip

Coalesce an orb of pure void that increases damage taken by enemies by 15% for 10 sec. After 4 sec, the orb explodes, inflicting Shadow damage and stunning enemies for 1 sec.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its area radius is 15 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. It applies the stunned mechanic. Its area radius is 15 yards.

What it does

Oblivion Sphere is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 1 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage in a 15 yard radius and applies an aura with the stunned mechanic in a 15 yard radius.

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.
