Tooltip

The caster banishes their current target to the spirit world. Only by facing the torments therein can the victim free themselves.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Banishment is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 261. Its area radius is 100 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 140, which the datamine does not name. It triggers spell id 131679.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 260.

What it does

Banishment is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 100 yard radius and applies an aura.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70631. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
