How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 50. Its area radius is 6 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 144, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 100. Its area radius is 6 yards.

What it does

Shadow Bomb is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and a range of 100 yards. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 50) in a 6 yard radius.
