How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 189. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 22. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Sanctuary is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 10 sec. 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.
