Oblivion Tear

Tooltip

Opens a tear to the void. Players coming into contact with this cause it to rupture and inflict 25 Shadow damage. A fragment of their essence is drawn to the caster, healing it for 1% of its maximum health.

How it works

Oblivion Tear is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 35.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Oblivion Tear.
  3. Effect 3 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 150.

What it does

Oblivion Tear is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 35) and has a Knock Back effect. It also casts Oblivion Tear (record #285225).

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.
