How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. Its area radius is 100 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 30 times over the full 30 sec. It triggers Lightning Tether.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

Lightning Tether is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 100 yard radius every 1 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Lightning Tether (record #158120).

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.
