Deals up to Shadow damage to all enemies.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 720. Its area radius is 60 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Ruin is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 720) in a 60 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.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 19 separate Spell records named "Ruin". This page is record #211383. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page. The 12 records closest by id are compared here.
