How it works

Each cast of Mind Flay costs 60 Mana. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 240 per tick. It scales with 0.1 times spell power. It ticks every 1 sec, 3 times over the full 3 sec (720 base in total). It jumps to up to 3 targets.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50. It jumps to up to 3 targets.

What it does

Mind Flay is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 20 yards and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec jumping to up to 3 targets and applies an aura jumping to up to 3 targets. The client files the whole spell under the ensnared 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.
