Polymorph

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 7.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 56.

What it does

Polymorph is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 20 sec. 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.
