Silences the enemy for 3 sec. If used on a casting target, it will counter the enemy's spellcast, preventing any spell from that school of magic from being cast for 8 sec.
How it works
Each cast of Spell Lock costs 200 Mana. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.
Spell Lock is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:
- Effect 1 is Interrupt Cast (effect type 68). It applies the interrupted mechanic.
- Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It scales with 1 times spell power. It applies the silenced mechanic. It triggers Spell Lock.
What it does
Spell Lock is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards, a 30 sec cooldown and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it interrupts spellcasting with the interrupted mechanic. It also casts Spell Lock (record #24259).
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.
