Blasts enemies of the caster for Frost damage and freezes them in place for up to 6 sec. Damage caused may interrupt the effect.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). It scales with 0.199 times spell power. Its area radius is 12 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 297. It applies the rooted mechanic. Its area radius is 12 yards.

What it does

Frost Nova is a Frost spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 25 sec cooldown and effects that last 1 sec. When cast it deals Frost damage in a 12 yard radius and applies an aura with the rooted mechanic in a 12 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.
