How it works

Each cast of Runic Shield costs 330 Mana. It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 69. Its base value is 570.972.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is -50.

What it does

Runic Shield is a Shadow spell with a 0.5 sec cast, a range of 30 yards, a 6 sec cooldown and effects that last 1 min. When cast it applies an aura.

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.
