What it does

Domination is a Shadow spell with a 2 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 5 yard radius. 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.
