How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 1000. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 7. Its base value is 3000. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 31. Its base value is 10. Its area radius is 8 yards.

What it does

Shadow Blast is a Shadow spell with a 1.5 sec cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 1.5 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 1000) in an 8 yard radius and applies an aura in an 8 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.
