How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 219. Its base value is 100.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. It triggers Fingers of Frost.

What it does

Flash Freeze is a Frost spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Fingers of Frost.

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.
