How it works

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 49. Its base value is 25.

What it does

Evasion is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. 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.
