Conjure a lightning storm, assaulting all nearby enemies with bolts of lightning for 10 sec.

How it works

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 2 sec, 5 times over the full 10 sec. It triggers Lightning Strike.

What it does

Lightning Storm is a Nature spell with a 3 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 2 sec. It also casts Lightning Strike.

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.
