Sacrifices the caster, inflicting 17.4892 Shadow damage to all enemies within 5 yards.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 5 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 17.4892. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

Sacrifice is a Shadow spell with a 3 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 17.4892) in an 8 yard radius and applies an aura.

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.
