Shadowcrown ejects dark energy at her current target inflicting 40 Shadow damage and an additional 10 Shadow damage to all other players.

For 7 sec shadow magic radiates in targeted directions, inflicting 20 Shadow damage and an additional 5 Shadow damage every 1 sec for 9 sec upon contact. This effect stacks.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 40.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 10. Its area radius is 50000 yards.

What it does

Obsidian Beam is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and an unlimited range. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 40) and deals Shadow damage (base value 10) in a 50000 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.
