Blackout

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 260. Its base value is 81040.
  2. Effect 2 is Sanctuary (effect type 79).

What it does

Blackout is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it applies an aura and has a Sanctuary effect.

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.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 15 separate Spell records named "Blackout". This page is record #118261. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page. The 12 records closest by id are compared here.
