Details

The default interface defines constants that can be used for the 'type' argument, such as SPELL_POWER_ENERGY. If no type is specified, UnitPower returns the current primary type, e.g., energy for a druid in cat form. You can determine the current power type via UnitPowerType. However, values for all power types are available in any form.
