How it works

Each cast of Dominate Mind costs 30 Mana. Its dispel type is client id 1.

Dominate Mind is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 6. Its base value is 25.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 319. Its base value is -100.

What it does

Dominate Mind is a Shadow spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 20 yards and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the charmed 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.
