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 124.9. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 15 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 499.6. Its area radius is 15 yards.

What it does

Shadow Nova is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 124.9) in a 15 yard radius and deals Shadow damage (base value 499.6) in a 15 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.
