How it works

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. It scales with 0.1 times spell power. It ticks every 1 sec, 5 times over the full 5 sec.

What it does

Mind Flay is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 20 yards and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec. The client files the whole spell under the snared 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.
