MageTooltip
Transforms the enemy into a turtle, forcing it to wander around for up to 50 sec. While wandering, the turtle cannot attack or cast spells but will regenerate very quickly. Any damage will transform the target back into its normal form. Only one target can be polymorphed at a time. Only works on Beasts, Humanoids and Critters.
How it works
Each cast of Polymorph costs 150 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.
Polymorph is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:
- Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 5.
- Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 56.
- Effect 3 is effect type 108, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 10.
What it does
Polymorph is an Arcane spell with a 1.5 sec cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 50 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the polymorphed 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.
