How it works

What it does

Silence is a Nature spell with a 1.5 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 45 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the silenced 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.
