Malacrass shoots a bolt of shadow, inflicting 25 Shadow damage to his primary target.

How it works

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 361. It triggers Dread Bolt.

What it does

Shadow Bolt is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Dread Bolt.

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.
