How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

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 175. Its area radius is 20 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. Its area radius is 20 yards.

What it does

Shadow Nova is a Shadow spell with a 4 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 175) in a 20 yard radius and applies an aura in a 20 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.
