The caster exhales a bolt of charged lightning that travels outward from the caster. Enemies caught in the bolt's path suffer Nature damage.

How it works

Charged Bolt is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 300 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 10 times over the full 10 sec (3000 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

Charged Bolt is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec 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.
