Permanently enchants a weapon with the Authority of the Depths. Damaging foes may invoke it, applying Suffocating Darkness which periodically inflicts Shadow damage. Cannot be applied to items lower than level.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. It ticks every 2 sec, 9 times over the full 18 sec.

What it does

Suffocating Darkness is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 18 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 2 sec. It stacks up to 3 times.

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.
