Shocks the target, instantly dealing Nature damage and the target has a chance to shock nearby friends.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 10. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 10. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Arc Lightning is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 10) in an 8 yard radius and applies an aura in a 10 yard radius.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Wrath of the Lich King client, build 3.80.2.69874. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
