What it does

Ancient Mindbender is a Shadow spell with a 1.5 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 75 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the silenced mechanic.

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.
