Puts nearby enemies to sleep for up to 10 sec. Any damage caused will awaken them.

How it works

Each cast of Sleep costs 80 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 12. Its area radius is 5 yards.

What it does

Sleep is a Shadow spell with a 1.3 sec cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 5 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the asleep 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.
