How it works

Glacial Breath is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 10.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 100.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -25.

What it does

Glacial Breath is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 200 yards and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it deals Frost damage (base value 10), has a Knock Back effect and applies an aura.

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.
