A rain of ice moves around the room, dealing 26.1695 Frost damage every 1 sec. for 10 sec.

How it works

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 3. Its base value is 26.1695 per tick. Its area radius is 13 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 10 times over the full 10 sec (261.69 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -65. It applies the snared mechanic. Its area radius is 13 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 260. It applies the snared mechanic. Its area radius is 13 yards.

What it does

Blizzard is a Frost spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 13 yard radius every 1 sec and leaves a persistent area effect on the ground with the snared mechanic in a 13 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.
