SMSG_SPELL_START and SMSG_SPELL_GO send unknown spell ID?

[daveh]

Just found SMSG_SPELL_START and SMSG_SPELL_GO send unknown spell ID (not in Spell.dbc) in a offi server, while doing quest As the Crow Flies by using item Stormcrow Amulet:

1. When using item Stormcrow Amulet, it casts spell Stormcrow Amulet:

SMSG_SPELL_START:

How does this mean?

[LordJZ]

Same as the problem with unexisting spell that activates Warlocks' Demonic Portal.

[imblizzspy]

They introduced this in wotlk, didnt they?

[DasBlub]

maybe this is something which some persons assumed already: that blizz is using different dbc's on client & server (if they're using dbc's at all on server side) and the client doesn't know about everything.
