How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

Sanctuary is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 30. Its base value is 13.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 22. Its base value is 300.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 99. Its base value is 30.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 102. Its base value is 36.

What it does

Sanctuary is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the WoW Forever beta client, build 1.60.1.70338. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
