How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

Holy Nova is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). It scales with 0.4095 times spell power. Its area radius is 12 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Holy Nova.
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 5.

What it does

Holy Nova is a Holy spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Holy damage in a 12 yard radius. It also casts Holy Nova (record #281265).

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.
