CastSpell(spellID, spellbookType);

Integer - Spell ID.

spellbookType

String - Spellbook type. Valid values are "spell" (BOOKTYPE_SPELL) and "pet" (BOOKTYPE_PET). All players use "spell". Hunters and Warlocks may have additional tabs on the bottom when pets are summoned. Warlocks have Demon, which corresponnds to "pet" spellbook type.

Result

Casts the first spell listed in the spellbook (usually Alchemy or Attack).

Note

Use "spell" or SpellBookFrame.booktype as the spellbookType for any non-pet spell. The id is counted from 1 through all spell types (tabs on the right side of SpellBookFrame). Pet spells also start from 1. (See example above). The CastSpell function can not be used outside Blizzard-signed code.

Although this function is protected, you can still use it to open Craft windows and activate Lock Picking.
