How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Blackout is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the stunned mechanic.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the WoW Forever beta client, build 1.60.1.70532. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
