How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Lightning Channel.

What it does

Lightning Channel is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 80 yards and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Lightning Channel (record #140839).

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.
