Skolex breaths reality tearing energies on its current target, inflicting 100 Shadow damage and increasing damage taken by Riftmaw by 500% for 6 sec.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 100. It applies the infected mechanic. Its area radius is 50 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 255. Its base value is 500. Its area radius is 50 yards.

What it does

Riftmaw is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 100) with the infected mechanic in a 50 yard radius and applies an aura in a 50 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.
