How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Leap (effect type 29).
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 15 yards.

What it does

Blink is an Arcane spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it leaps the caster.

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.
