How it works

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 27. Its area radius is 5 yards.

What it does

Solar Beam is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 1.2 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 5 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the silenced mechanic.
