Silences an enemy, preventing it from casting spells for 6 sec.

How it works

Each cast of Silence costs 30 Mana. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 27.

What it does

Silence is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 20 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura. 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.
