How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 8. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 20 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50. Its area radius is 40 yards.

What it does

Frost Breath is a Frost spell with a 4 sec cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it deals Frost damage (base value 8) in a 20 yard radius and applies an aura in a 40 yard radius.

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.
