How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 164, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Area Sleep (TEST).

What it does

Freeze is a spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Area Sleep (TEST).

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.
