Notes[]

Inversion[]

Every spell can have a reverse reaction from that originally intended, an example of this is the barkskin spell. Malfurion Stormrage developed a reverse effect to use against the Burning Legion. This variation of the barkskin spell also hardens the targets skin, but at the same time makes the target unable to move, turning him into a statue.[1]
