Banishes the target, preventing all action but making it invulnerable.

How it works

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 39.

What it does

Banish is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the banished mechanic.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Wrath of the Lich King client, build 3.80.2.69874. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
