The Val'kyr's Dark touch has affected you, inflicting 14.2743 Dark damage to players under the effect of Light Essence every 2 sec. The Touch of Darkness will not harm targets with the same attributes as it.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 14.2743 per tick. Its area radius is 50000 yards. It ticks every 2 sec, 10 times over the full 20 sec (142.74 base in total).
  2. Effect 3 is effect type 77, which the datamine does not name. Its area radius is 50000 yards.

What it does

Touch of Darkness is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 20 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 50000 yard radius every 2 sec.

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.
