Details
Arguments
Using spellId as the argument will always return the info. Using spellName or spellLink will only return the info if the spell is in your spellbook. Otherwise it will return nil. The values returned by this function are affected by the player's form or stance on relevant spells, such as a warlock's Corruption spell transforming to Doom when Metamorphosis is active.
isFunnel
Currently the only spells isFunnel returns true on are a warlock's 
[Health Funnel] spells, and a few other miscellaneous NPC spells.
PowerType
It is unknown at this time whether Happiness (PowerType 4) is ever passed as a spell cost.
