Unleashes a powerful inflicting 50 Shadow damage and reducing healing received by 70% for 10 sec.

How it works

Shadow Eruption 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 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 118. Its base value is -70. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Shadow Eruption is a Shadow spell with a 4 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 50) 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.
