Cleanses a friendly target, removing all Poison, Disease, and Magic effects.

How it works

It works on charges (charge category 1512); the charge count and recharge time live in a client table the datamine does not carry, so they are not stated here. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

Cleanse is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Dispel (effect type 38).
  2. Effect 2 is Dispel (effect type 38).
  3. Effect 3 is Dispel (effect type 38). Its base value is 100.

What it does

Cleanse is a Holy spell with an instant cast and a range of 40 yards. When cast it dispels effects.

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.
