Allows the Imbiber to breathe water for 30 min.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 82.

What it does

Water Breathing is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 1 sec cooldown and effects that last 30 min. When cast it applies an aura.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the WoW Forever beta client, build 1.60.1.70532. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
