Frost
MageTooltip
You become encased in a block of ice, protecting you from all physical attacks and spells for 10 sec, but during that time you cannot attack, move or cast spells.
How it works
Each cast of Ice Block costs 15 Mana. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.
Ice Block is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:
- Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
- Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 39.
- Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 39.
What it does
Ice Block is a Frost spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 5 min cooldown and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the frozen mechanic.
Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Classic Era client, build 1.15.9.70576. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
