How it works

Each cast of Frost Nova costs 75 Mana. Its dispel type is client id 1.

Frost Nova is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 50. Its area radius is 20 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26. It applies the rooted mechanic. Its area radius is 20 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is 50. Its area radius is 20 yards.

What it does

Frost Nova is a Frost spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 50) in a 20 yard radius, applies an aura with the rooted mechanic in a 20 yard radius and applies an aura in a 20 yard radius. 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.
