  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3).
  2. Effect 2 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179).

What it does

Shadow Blade is a Shadow spell with a 2.5 sec cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it has a Create Area Effect effect.

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.
