How it works

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

Shield of Light is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Shield of Light is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards, a 5 sec cooldown and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it 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.
