How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -60. Its area radius is 40 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 5. Its area radius is 40 yards.

What it does

Blind is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 40 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the disoriented 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.
