Summons an Imp to accompany the caster until dismissed.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Summon (effect type 28). It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 3 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 77, which the datamine does not name.

What it does

Summon Imp is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it summons a creature in a 3 yard radius.

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.
