How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 12 per tick. It ticks every 2 sec.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 61. Its base value is 10.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 260.

What it does

Lightning Charge is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura every 2 sec 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.
