How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 189. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 189. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Blinding Light is a Holy spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 20 sec. When cast it applies an aura.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
