Calls down a blizzard that lasts 6 sec., inflicting 12.3711 Frost damage every 2 sec. to all enemies in a selected area.

How it works

Each cast of Blizzard costs 200 Mana.

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 12.3711 per tick. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 40 yards. It ticks every 2 sec, 3 times over the full 6 sec (37.11 base in total).

What it does

Blizzard is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 40 yard radius every 2 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.
