Shadowbind

Tooltip

The caster binds itself, preventing forced movement effects.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.
  2. Effect 2 is Spawn (effect type 46).

What it does

Shadowbind is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura and has a Spawn effect.

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.
