What it does
Call Lightning is a Nature spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 40 yards, a 20 sec cooldown and effects that last 20 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage and 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.
