The following attributed source text describes build 1.60.1.69876. The source renders values at level 60 without gear. It is not an in-game measurement at the learning level or verification of the later client behavior.

; Shaman — Rank 3
The caster is surrounded by 3 balls of lightning. When a spell, melee or ranged attack hits the caster, the attacker will be struck for 40 Nature damage. This expends one lightning ball. Only one ball will fire every few seconds. Lasts 10 min.
* 125 Mana
* Instant
* School: Nature
* Learning level listed by the source: 24
* No special acquisition flag is supplied; this alone does not prove a trainer or current availability.

== Evidence and limits ==
* Spell records include player, creature, item-effect and inherited spells. A skill-line association does not by itself establish how to learn a spell.
* Base timing values can be modified in game. Unresolved tooltip formula tokens and internal learning-level columns are not presented as gameplay values.
