List of magic effects

Overview

This is a list of abilities which can be magically dispelled or stolen.

Dispel Targets

• PvE
  • Magisters' Terrace
    • Sunblade Blood Knights buff themselves with Seal of Wrath, dealing 1414 to 1586 additional holy damage on every hit (spell or melee) and can crit. This is not affected by additional spell damage when spellstolen. It procs on every tick of Arcane Missiles (8000 extra damage per cast), as well as Arcane Explosion on every target. It will also, however, proc when casting sheep, immediately breaking the spell.
    • Sunblade Magisters have an aura that grants them a stacking 10% spell haste bonus with every cast. While the aura is not dispellable, individual charges from the haste stack itself can be stolen or dispelled.
  • The Eye
    • Astromancers Buff themselvs with Molten Armor, causeing 75 Fire damage when hit, increases your chance to critically hit with spells by 3%, and reduces the chance you are critically hit by 5%. Only one type of Armor spell can be active on a Mage at any time.
  • The Mechanar
    • Sunseeker Astromages have a fire shield that does ~700 damage every 3 seconds to enemies in melee range. Spell damage increases this effect. This ability can crit and will proc Ignite.
  • The Arcatraz
    • Ethereum Wave-Casters have a spell haste buff that increases your casting speed by 50%.
    • Eredar Soul-Eaters cast a debuff on players that decreases the player's physical damage and stats by 45% and buffs the Soul-Eater by 45% to the respective stats. Mages can spellsteal this buff to increase their own stats by the same amount.
  • The Botanica
    • Sunseeker Researchers have a buff that that inflicts attackers with 328 poison damage every 3 seconds for 24 seconds called "Poison Shield."
    • Bloodwarder Menders have a +297 spell damage magic buff called "Holy Fury". (Mind controlling the mob with a priest to buff you will result in a 30 minutes buff instead of 2 minutes.)
  • Gruul's Lair
    • Gronn-Priests will periodically cast Renew on themselves or another mob that ticks for roughly 4-5% of their health. Stealing this will heal you and, more importantly, help the raid burn down the mob quicker.
    • During the High King Maulgar fight, a mage will tank Krosh Firehand by Spellstealing Krosh's Spell Shield.
  • Karazhan
    • Stables trash: Spectral Stallions periodically cast a melee buff (Absorb Vitality) that makes them grow larger in size. Stealing this buff will make you grow in size increasingly when stacked. You will not get any advantage of the buff but it debuffs the mob, plus it is fun to be a giant =D.
    • Ballroom trash: Some of the trash there have a regen that you can steal. They wont heal anymore and you'll have a free regen.
    • Moroes: The 4 adds of Moroes have a 550 attack power buff on them that you can steal. Though you will not get any advantage from this besides debuffing the adds, reducing their damage.
    • Romulo and Julianne: Julianne's Devotion can be stolen to increase your spell casting speed by 50%. Romulo's Daring can be stolen mainly to debuff him as it only increases melee attack speed.
    • On the way to The Curator: Trapped Soul - The green specters that do the cone of cold have Elemental Armor which gives +200 resist to all magic for 2 minutes (once stolen)
    • Ethereal Spellfilcher: These mobs before the chess event have a +8% spell damage buff that can stack. Very useful. If a mage were to steal this buff repeatedly without the mob being killed, it is possible to run into Netherspite with a substantial damage buff (maximum stacks are though to be 10 -- i.e. +80% damage done).
  • Old Hillsbrad Foothills
    • Before Epoch Hunter lands, he spawns waves of Infinite Dragonkin. Some of them have a damage shield that can be stolen.
    • During the final boss fight against the Epoch Hunter you can steal his Disrupt Magic debuff. This prevents all of your pretty buffs from being removed, and as an added bonus it will remove any beneficial buffs that the boss has.
  • Opening the Dark Portal
    • Temporus: You can steal/debuff his Hasten spell that increases movement speed by 200%. Note: in heroic mode, Temporus will also have a temporary five second spell reflection that will reflect Spellsteal, Dispel Magic, and Purge.
  • Sethekk Halls
    • Many of the mobs have a buff called Arcane Destruction that gives +150 spell damage.
    • Talon King Ikiss's Mana Shield can be stolen when he goes below 15% health.
  • Shadow Labyrinth
    • Cabal Zealots transform into green Core Hounds when they are low on health; this buff is stealable. It prevents you from casting spells, but looks cool. It will also greatly increase your melee damage dealt. If you have a staff with high-end damage on it, you will do very large amounts of melee damage.
  • Zul'Aman
    • The Amani'shi Flame Casters have a 30 seoncond buff that increases the casting speed by 300% and movement speed by 200% which can be spellstolen. This can increase the mage's DPS by a maximum of 3-fold, however if the mage has some spell haste, then fireball will have a cast time of less than 1 second; this could make it better to pyroblast spam.
  • Nagrand
    • Vir'aani Arcanists have a spell called Vir'aani Concentration. It increases arcane spell damage dealt by 10%, and reduces your chance to be interrupted by melee attacks and abilities by 10%.
  • Netherstorm
    • Some of the blood elves (Sunfury Arch Mage) around Sunfury Hold cast a stealable buff that adds roughly 150 spell damage and increases your intellect (Fiery Intellect). However, it doesn't stack with mage/ice/molten armor.
