Each cast of Surging Darkness costs 100 Energy.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3).
  2. Effect 2 is Summon (effect type 28). Its area radius is 9 yards.

What it does

Surging Darkness is a Shadow spell with a 3.5 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it summons a creature in a 9 yard radius.
