How it works

Each cast of Shadow Blast costs 90 Mana. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 27.8349. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 75.

What it does

Shadow Blast is a Shadow spell with a 1.5 sec cast, a range of 40 yards and a 10 sec cooldown. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 27.8349) and has a Knock Back 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.
