Silences nearby enemies, preventing them from casting spells for 6 sec.

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 27. Its base value is 1. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Silence is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 10 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the silenced mechanic.

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.
