Summons Imps to accompany the caster until dismissed.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Summon Imp.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Summon Imp.
  3. Effect 3 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Summon Imp.

What it does

Summon Imps is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). It also casts Summon Imp, Summon Imp and Summon Imp.

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.
