How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 40. Its area radius is 30 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

Lightning Breath is a Nature spell with a 1.5 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 40) in a 30 yard radius and applies an aura.

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.
