How it works

Spells that share its cooldown category wait 30 sec after it is cast. It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Cryptic Instructions is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and a 90 sec cooldown.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
