How it works

Casting it triggers a 1 sec global cooldown.

Holy Nova is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 1. It scales with 0.143 times spell power. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 5.
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 5.

What it does

Holy Nova is a Holy spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Holy damage (base value 1) in a 10 yard radius.

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.
