Summons a sphere of sub-freezing energy near a random target. If this sphere comes of an enemy, it will explode, dealing 49.0568 Frost damage to all enemies, knocking them back.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 49.0568. Its area radius is 5 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 100. Its area radius is 5 yards.

What it does

Absolute Zero is a Frost spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Frost damage (base value 49.0568) in a 5 yard radius and has a Knock Back effect in a 5 yard radius.

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.
