Shadowform

How it works

Shadowform is built from 5 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 30. Its base value is 15.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 10. Its base value is -90.
  3. Effect 3 is Spawn (effect type 46).
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 9. Its base value is 20.
  5. Effect 5 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 79.

What it does

Shadowform is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura and has a Spawn effect.

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.
