How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 75. Its area radius is 50 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. Its base value is 75. It applies the frozen mechanic. Its area radius is 50 yards.

What it does

Glacial Ray is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 75) in a 50 yard radius and applies an aura with the frozen mechanic in a 50 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.
