Surrounds your target in an Anti-Magic Shell for 5 sec, absorbing up to magic damage and preventing application of harmful magical effects.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

Anti-Magic Shell is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 69.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 267. Its base value is 30.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 118.

What it does

Anti-Magic Shell is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards, a 1 min cooldown and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura.

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.
