Mind Control

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 8.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 177. Its base value is 9999. Its area radius is 50000 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 61. Its base value is 100. Its area radius is 50000 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 79. Its base value is 100. Its area radius is 50000 yards.

What it does

Mind Control is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 50000 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.
