Cast a bolt of shadow.

How it works

It works on charges (charge category 1255); the charge count and recharge time live in a client table the datamine does not carry, so they are not stated here. Casting it triggers a 1 sec global cooldown.

  1. Effect 1 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). Its area radius is 15 yards. It triggers Shadowbolt.

What it does

Shadowbolt is a spell with an instant cast and a range of 100 yards. When cast it launches a missile in a 15 yard radius. It also casts Shadowbolt (record #368824).

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.
