How it works

Each cast of Banish costs 100 Mana. Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 39.

What it does

Banish is a Shadow spell with a 1 sec cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 15 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.
