Tooltip

Shows the location of all nearby undead on the minimap for 60 min.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 44.

What it does

Detect Undead is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 3 sec cooldown and effects that last 1 hr. When cast it applies an aura.

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.
