  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 138. Its base value is 15.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 79. Its base value is 10.

What it does

Lightning Charge is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura. It stacks up to 99 times.

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.
