Returns whether the player (or pet) knows the given spell.

isKnown = IsSpellKnown(spellID [, isPetSpell])

Arguments

spellID

number - the spell ID number

isPetSpell

boolean? - if true, will check if the currently active pet knows the spell; if false or omitted, will check if the player knows the spell

Returns

isKnown

boolean - whether the player (or pet) knows the given spell

Details

• This function may return false when querying learned spells that are passive effects. Consider using IsPlayerSpell for these.
• Returns false if querying a spell that has "replaced" a known spell, which returns true whether or not it's replaced (i.e. Retribution's Templar's Verdict (85256) will always be true and Final Verdict (336872) will be false whether or not you have the related legendary equipped). In these cases, use IsSpellKnownOrOverridesKnown(spellID) to check for spells like Final Verdict.
