Summons a spotlight at the caster's location for 15 sec that buffs anyone inside it.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Summon (effect type 28). Its base value is 1. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 1 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 79. Its base value is 50. Its area radius is 2 yards.

What it does

Spotlight is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it summons a creature in a 1 yard radius and leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 2 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.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 23 separate Spell records named "Spotlight". This page is record #81431. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page. The 12 records closest by id are compared here.
