Shadowy gateways deploy Ansurek's forces and then explode, inflicting 1000 Shadow damage to players.

Traveling through a gateway disrupts the explosion, but inflicts 4 Shadow damage to the traveler and afflicts them with both and.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 4.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 260.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 140, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Shadowgate.

What it does

Shadowgate is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 0.5 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 4) and applies an aura. It also casts Shadowgate (record #462305).

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.
