Spell Lock

Tooltip

The caster interrupts its target spell cast and silences them for 3 sec.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Interrupt Cast (effect type 68).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 27.

What it does

Spell Lock is a Shadow spell with a 3 sec cast, a range of 40 yards, a 4 sec cooldown and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it interrupts spellcasting and applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the silenced mechanic.

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.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 11 separate Spell records named "Spell Lock". This page is record #1298069. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page.
