Consuming Shadows

Tooltip

Causes the caster to periodically inflict 200 Shadow damage to all enemies in a selected area, slowing their movement to 30%. Lasts 15 sec.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It scales with 1 times spell power. It ticks every 1 sec, 15 times over the full 15 sec. It triggers Consuming Shadows.

What it does

Consuming Shadows is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Consuming Shadows (record #24615).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the WoW Forever beta client, build 1.60.1.70532. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
