How it works

Its dispel type is client id 2.

Shrink is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 29. Its base value is -0.4641. Its area radius is 5 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 29. Its base value is -0.4641. Its area radius is 5 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 61. Its base value is -10. Its area radius is 5 yards.

What it does

Shrink is a Shadow spell with a 3 sec cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 20 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 5 yard radius.

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.
