How it works

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 200 per tick. Its area radius is 8 yards. It ticks every 3 sec, 4 times over the full 12 sec (800 base in total).

What it does

Shadow Strikes is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it applies an aura in an 8 yard radius every 3 sec.

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.
