Puts an enemy to sleep for up to 3 sec. Any damage caused will awaken the target. Only one target can be asleep at a time.

How it works

Each cast of Sleep costs 90 Mana. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

What it does

Sleep is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the asleep 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.
