How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

  1. Effect 1 is Summon (effect type 28).

What it does

Lightning Storm is a spell with a 2.5 sec cast, a range of 40 yards, a 5 sec cooldown and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it summons a creature.

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.
