Polymorph

Tooltip

Transforms the enemy into a sheep, wandering around incapacitated for 1 min. While affected, the victim cannot take actions but will regenerate health very quickly. Damage may cancel the effect. Limit 1.

Only works on Beasts, Humanoids and Critters. When critters are affected, can affect multiple targets, and has a duration of 1 day.

How it works

  1. Effect 1 is Learn Spell (effect type 36). It triggers Polymorph.

What it does

Polymorph is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it teaches a spell. It also casts Polymorph (record #118).

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.
