How it works

It works on charges (charge category 1904); the charge count and recharge time live in a client table the datamine does not carry, so they are not stated here. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

  1. Effect 1 is Teleport (effect type 252).

What it does

Twisting Shadows is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and a range of 30 yards. When cast it has a Teleport effect.

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.
