How it works

Each cast of Lightning Bolt costs 20 Mana. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2).
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 164, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Resilient Circuits.

What it does

Lightning Bolt is a Nature spell with a 1.6 sec cast and a range of 30 yards. When cast it deals Nature damage. It also casts Resilient Circuits.

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.
