Shadow Burst is the second tier Shadow spell from the Ancient Magicks spellbook, available at level 64 Magic. It is capable of hitting up to 18 damage (without any magic damage boosts) per cast.

Shadow Burst has the ability to lower your target's Attack level by 10%, this effect does not stack to lower the target's Attack level to zero. It is also able to target up to nine targets in a 3x3 grid around its primary target, just like all other burst and barrage spells.

As with all Ancient Magicks spells, the Desert Treasure I quest is required to cast this spell.

When used against the Abyssal Sire, Shadow Burst has a 50% chance of disorienting it for the first phase of the fight.
