Consuming Shadows

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Consuming Shadows is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 400. Its area radius is 5 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -30. Its area radius is 5 yards.

What it does

Consuming Shadows is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 1.5 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 400) in a 5 yard radius and applies an aura in a 5 yard radius.

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.
