How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Shadowed Essence is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 42. It triggers Shadowed Essence.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3).
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Shadowed Essence is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Shadowed Essence (record #455643).

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.
