Mage Armor

Tooltip

Increases your resistance to all magic by 5 and allows 30% of your mana regeneration to continue while casting. Only one type of Armor spell can be active on the Mage at any time. Lasts 30 min.

How it works

Each cast of Mage Armor costs 270 Mana. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 22. Its base value is 5.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 134. Its base value is 30.

What it does

Mage Armor is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 30 min. When cast it applies an aura.

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.
