Lightburst

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Summon (effect type 28).
  2. Effect 2 is Summon (effect type 28).
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 140, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Lightburst.

What it does

Lightburst is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 5 min. When cast it summons a creature. It also casts Lightburst (record #1230640).

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.
