How it works

Each cast of Shadow Nova costs 95 Mana. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 4. Its area radius is 5 yards.

What it does

Shadow Nova is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 1.5 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 5 yard radius.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Wrath of the Lich King client, build 3.80.2.69874. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
