Blinding Light

How it works

Blinding Light is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 60. Its area radius is 300 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 5. Its base value is 20. Its area radius is 300 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 61, which the datamine does not name.

What it does

Blinding Light is a Holy spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura in a 300 yard radius.

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.
