How it works

Unstable Anima is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 272.583. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Instakill (effect type 1). Its area radius is 8 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 68.1457 per tick. Its area radius is 8 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 10 times over the full 10 sec (681.46 base in total).

What it does

Unstable Anima is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 200 yards and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 272.583) in an 8 yard radius, kills the target outright in an 8 yard radius and applies an aura in an 8 yard radius every 1 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.
