Returns whether the player has learned a particular spell.
isKnown = IsPlayerSpell(spellID)
Arguments
- spellID
- number - Spell ID of the spell to query, e.g. 1953 for
[Blink].
Returns
- isKnown
- boolean - true if the player can cast this spell (or a different spell that overrides this spell), false otherwise.
Details
- Spells can be permanently or temporarily overridden by other spells as a result of procs, talents, or other spell mechanics, e.g.
[Moonfire] is overriden by 
[Sunfire] while in Solar Eclipse
[Trap Launcher] replaces trap spells by ranged variants
[Nether Tempest] replaces a permanent base spell 
[Mage Bomb]- Chakra replaces
[Holy Word: Chastise] with different spells
- Querying the base (replaced) spell will also return true if any of its overrides are currently active.
- Querying an overriding spell may or may not return true even if that spell is currently known, depending on the particular spell.
