Teleports the caster 20 yd. forward unless something is in the way. Also frees the caster from any bonds.

How it works

Each cast of Blink costs 75 Mana. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Leap (effect type 29). Its area radius is 5 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 77.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 77.

What it does

Blink is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 1 sec. When cast it leaps the caster up to 5 yards and applies an aura.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Burning Crusade client, build 2.5.6.70006. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
