How it works

Each cast of Shadow Burst costs 380 Mana. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

Shadow Burst is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 1600. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Shadow Burst is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 1600) in a 10 yard radius.

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.
