How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.

What it does

Nightmare is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the asleep 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.
