Blasts enemies near the caster for 1.97461 Frost damage and freezes them in place for up to 8 sec. Damage caused may interrupt the effect.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. 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). Its base value is 1.9746. It scales with 0.193 times spell power. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26. It applies the rooted mechanic. Its area radius is 10 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 8 sec. When cast it deals Frost damage (base value 1.9746) in a 10 yard radius and applies an aura with the rooted mechanic in a 10 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.
