How it works

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its area radius is 100 yards.

What it does

Lightning Rod is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 100 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.
