How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

Umbral Shell is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 69. Its base value is 50.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 12 times over the full 12 sec. It triggers Embrace of the Void.

What it does

Umbral Shell is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 3 sec cooldown and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Embrace of the Void.

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.
