How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Illumination is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 42. It scales with 1 times spell power. It triggers Dummy Trigger.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 50. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 50. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 10. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Illumination is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Dummy Trigger.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the WoW Forever beta client, build 1.60.1.70532. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
