How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its area radius is 35 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. Its area radius is 35 yards. It ticks every 5 sec. It triggers Overload.

What it does

Lightning Charge is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 35 yard radius and applies an aura in a 35 yard radius every 5 sec. It also casts Overload.

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.
