How it works

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 4. Its area radius is 5 yards.

What it does

Blizzard is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 5 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.
