Dispels magic on nearbv targets, removing 20 harmful spells from allies.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dispel (effect type 38). Its base value is 20. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 100 yards.

What it does

Dispel Magic is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and a 20 sec cooldown. When cast it dispels effects in a 100 yard radius.

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.
