Inflicts 6 Shadow damage and creates a pool of shadow energy which inflicts 5 Shadow damage every 1 sec to players within.

How it works

Shadow Blast is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 5 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 2 times over the full 2 sec (10 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 260.

What it does

Shadow Blast is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec 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.
