Tooltip

The caster calls down lightning against their opponents for the next 9 sec.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 3 sec, 3 times over the full 9 sec. It triggers Call Lightning.

What it does

Call Lightning is a Nature spell with a 3 sec cast, a range of 100 yards, a 15 sec cooldown and effects that last 9 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 3 sec. It also casts Call Lightning (record #256206).

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.
