How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 10.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 20.

What it does

Shard Instability is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it 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.
