Infuses the caster's weapons with the power of lightning, giving successful melee attacks a chance to inflict Nature damage.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura has a 75% chance to proc when its trigger condition is met. The aura is spent after 5 procs.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 42. It triggers Call Lightning.

What it does

Call Lightning is a Nature spell with a 1.5 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 5 sec cooldown and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Call Lightning (record #123939).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70631. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
