Calls down a blizzard that lasts 10 sec.

How it works

Each cast of Blizzard costs 345 Mana.

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 136, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 1. Its area radius is 18 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 138. Its base value is 1. Its area radius is 18 yards.

What it does

Blizzard is a Frost spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in an 18 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.
