Casts a web over an enemy, immobilizing it for 10 sec.

Web

How it works

Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Web is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 10 yards and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 10 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the rooted 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 15 separate Spell records named "Web". This page is record #28991. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page. The 12 records closest by id are compared here.
