How it works

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 79. Its base value is 20. Its area radius is 2 yards.

What it does

Spotlight is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 2 yard radius.

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.
