Mind Control

How it works

Each cast of Mind Control costs 750 Mana. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 177. Its base value is 99. Its area radius is 50000 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 79. Its area radius is 50000 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 344. Its area radius is 50000 yards.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 69. Its base value is 1000000. Its area radius is 50000 yards.

What it does

Mind Control is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 20 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 50000 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.
