How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 301. Its base value is 40. Its area radius is 50000 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 50000 yards.

What it does

Shadow Shroud is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura in a 50000 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.
