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 20000. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 15 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 20000. Its area radius is 15 yards.

What it does

Shadow Nova is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 20000) in a 15 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.
