How it works

Lightning is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 0.5 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 50. Its area radius is 8 yards.

What it does

Lightning is a spell with an instant cast and a range of 15 yards. When cast it has a Knock Back effect in an 8 yard radius.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70531. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
