This ritual summons nearby.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 8. Its area radius is 50000 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 2 per tick. Its area radius is 50000 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 12 times over the full 12 sec (24 base in total).

What it does

Shade Shift is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 8) in a 50000 yard radius and applies an aura in a 50000 yard radius every 1 sec.

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.
