How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). It triggers Shades of Krick.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Shade Shift.

What it does

Shade Shift is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and an unlimited range. When cast it launches a missile. It also casts Shades of Krick and Shade Shift (record #1264241).

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.
