Place an ice trap that freezes the first enemy that approaches, incapacitating them for 1 min. Any damage caused will break the ice. Only one target can be Freezing Trapped at a time. Trap will exist for 1 min.

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

Freezing Trap is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 1 min. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the frozen mechanic.

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.
