How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 0.0504. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 225. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Shadow Nova is a Shadow spell with a 3 sec cast and a range of 150 yards. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 0.0504) in a 10 yard radius and has a Knock Back effect 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.
