  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50. It applies the snared mechanic.

What it does

Frost Blast is a Frost spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it deals Frost damage (base value 197) and applies an aura with the snared 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.
