How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 164, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Petrifying Gaze.

What it does

Petrify is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the stunned mechanic. It also casts Petrifying Gaze.

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 10 separate Spell records named "Petrify". This page is record #86580. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page.
