Shapeshifts into a cat for 4 min., increasing attack power and allowing the use of various cat abilities.

How it works

Each cast of Cat Form costs 9 Mana. It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 36.

What it does

Cat Form is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 30 sec cooldown and effects that last 4 min. 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.
