How it works

Each cast of Domination costs 30 Mana.

Domination is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 6. Its base value is 99.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 79.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 344.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 69. Its base value is 1000000.

What it does

Domination is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, a range of 20 yards and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the charmed 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.
