Restores 900 to 1500 mana at the cost of 600 to 1000 life.

How it works

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

Dark Rune is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Energize (effect type 30). Its base value is 900.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 600.

What it does

Dark Rune is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and a 1 min cooldown. When cast it restores a resource (base value 900) and deals Shadow damage (base value 600).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Burning Crusade client, build 2.5.6.70006. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
