How it works

Each cast of Blind costs 30 Energy. Casting it triggers a 1 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 4. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -60.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 5.

What it does

Blind is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 10 yards, a 5 min cooldown and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the disoriented mechanic.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Classic Era client, build 1.15.9.70576. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
