Banishes an enemy, preventing all action but making it invulnerable for up to until cancelled. Only one target can be banished at a time.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Banish is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 39.

What it does

Banish is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura.

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.
