How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 8.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). It triggers Chilled.

What it does

Frostbolt is a Frost spell with a 2.5 sec cast and a range of 40 yards. When cast it deals Frost damage (base value 8) and launches a missile. It also casts Chilled.

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.
