Frostbolt

How it works

Each cast of Frostbolt costs 300 Mana.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 7.0307. 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 -40. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 20 yards.

What it does

Frostbolt is a Frost spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 9 sec. When cast it deals Frost damage (base value 7.0307) in a 20 yard radius and applies an aura in a 20 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.
