How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Blizzard is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 4. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 8 times over the full 8 sec. It triggers Blizzard.

What it does

Blizzard is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 35 yards and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in an 8 yard radius and applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Blizzard (record #183097).

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.
