How it works

Each cast of Blizzard costs 1400 Mana. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 8.875 per tick. It scales with 0.042 times spell power. Its area radius is 8 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 8 times over the full 8 sec (71 base in total).

What it does

Blizzard is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in an 8 yard radius every 1 sec.

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.
