Tooltip

Dispels harmful effects on the target, removing all Magic and Disease effects.

How it works

It works on charges (charge category 1509); the charge count and recharge time live in a client table the datamine does not carry, so they are not stated here. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dispel (effect type 38). Its base value is 100.
  2. Effect 2 is Dispel (effect type 38).

What it does

Purify is a Holy spell with an instant cast and a range of 40 yards. When cast it dispels effects.

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.
