How it works

It works on charges (charge category 1206); the charge count and recharge time live in a client table the datamine does not carry, so they are not stated here.

Shadowstep is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Teleport (effect type 252).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 31. Its base value is 70.

What it does

Shadowstep is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 25 yards and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it has a Teleport effect and applies an aura.

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.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 116 separate Spell records named "Shadowstep". This page is record #193549. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page. The 12 records closest by id are compared here.
