How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 164, which the datamine does not name. Its area radius is 50000 yards. It triggers Repentance.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 25.7945.

What it does

Wail of Darkness is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 25.7945). It also casts Repentance.

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.
