Shadow Prison

Tooltip

Binds an enemy. Movement by a bound enemy inflicts 350 initial Shadow damage, increasing by 500 for each second of movement. Remaining motionless for 10 sec will reset the stack.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 350. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 500.

What it does

Shadow Prison is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 350) and applies an aura. It stacks up to 99 times.

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.
