Instant castTwenty yards

Deals Nature damage and stuns the target for 3 sec.

Zap

How it works

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

Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
Effect 2 is effect type 165, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 5.

What it does

Zap is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 20 yards and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the stunned mechanic.

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.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 30 separate Spell records named "Zap". This page is record #288312. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page. The 12 records closest by id are compared here.
