Targeting and features
Living enemy mouseover → Living enemy target → No eligible target: no cast
Mouseover
Requirements
- Learned Polymorph; the source records its first rank at level 8. Each higher rank must be learned separately.
Known limitations
- Research-supported design for beta 1.60.1.70009; no recorded in-client macro tests. English spell names require localization on other clients.
- The first matching target branch wins; an out-of-range, line-of-sight, immune or otherwise invalid recipient does not fall through to another target.
- Choose an eligible beast, humanoid or critter. Damage breaks the control; stopping your attack does not remove existing damage-over-time effects or cancel missiles already in flight.
- This uses the standard learned Polymorph, not the optional Turtle or Pig variants.
Notes
- Spell IDs identify the sourced first-rank reference; unranked names request the learned rank selected by the client. A spellbook tab is not a specialization lock.
- Talent and level records are provisional beta extraction, not proof of spell acquisition.
