Begins a ritual to create a summoning portal, requiring the caster and 1 ally to complete. This portal can be used to summon party and raid members.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

  1. Effect 1 is Summon Object (effect type 50).

What it does

Guiding Light is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards, a 2 min cooldown and effects that last 2 min. When cast it summons an object.
