Instantly blasts the target for 66 Shadow damage. If a non-trivial target dies within 8 sec of being hit with Shadowburn, the caster gains a Soul Shard.
How it works
Each cast of Shadowburn costs 105 Mana. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.
Shadowburn is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:
- Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 86. Its base value is 1.
- Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 66. It scales with 0.429 times spell power.
What it does
Shadowburn is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards, a 15 sec cooldown and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it applies an aura and deals Shadow damage (base value 66).
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.
