Counters the enemy's spellcast, preventing any spell from that school of magic from being cast for 3 sec.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

  1. Effect 1 is Interrupt Cast (effect type 68).

What it does

Counterspell is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards, a 24 sec cooldown and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it interrupts spellcasting. The client files the whole spell under the interrupted 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.
