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 350. Its area radius is 20 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 300. Its area radius is 20 yards.

What it does

Shadow Nova is a Shadow spell with a 4 sec cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 350) in a 20 yard radius and has a Knock Back effect 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.
