Conjures a frost orb and hurls it at an enemy, Inflicting Frost damage and rooting targets it collides with for 6 sec.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 30.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26.

What it does

Frost Blast is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it deals Frost damage (base value 30) and applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the rooted 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.
