How it works

Mindgames is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Learn Spell (effect type 36).
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Mindgames is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it teaches a spell.

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.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 12 separate Spell records named "Mindgames". This page is record #337051. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page.
