How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 385.5. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  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

Frostbolt is a Frost spell with a 3 sec cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it deals Frost damage (base value 385.5) 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.
