Counters an enemy's spell, preventing spells from being cast for 3 sec.

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

  1. Effect 1 is Interrupt Cast (effect type 68). It applies the interrupted mechanic.

What it does

Spell Lock is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, a range of 20 yards and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it interrupts spellcasting with the interrupted mechanic. 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.
