  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its area radius is 5 yards.

What it does

Faulty Zap is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 200 yards and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 8) in a 5 yard radius, applies an aura and applies an aura in a 5 yard radius. It stacks up to 20 times.

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.
