Ball Lightning

How it works

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 2 sec, 10 times over the full 20 sec.

What it does

Ball Lightning is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 20 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 2 sec.

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.
