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 17.0886. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 5 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 120. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -70. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Shadow Blast is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 17.0886) in a 5 yard radius, has a Knock Back effect in a 10 yard radius and applies an aura in a 10 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.
