Dark magic is unleashed, causing 3000 Shadow damage and knocking back all enemies within 30 yds.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 3000. Its area radius is 30 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 100. Its area radius is 30 yards.

What it does

Shadow Nova is a Shadow spell with a 2 sec cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 3000) in a 30 yard radius and has a Knock Back effect in a 30 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.
