  1. Effect 1 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). It triggers Hailstorm.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). It triggers Numbing Cold.

What it does

Hailstorm is a Frost spell with an instant cast and a range of 100 yards. When cast it launches a missile. It also casts Hailstorm (record #436569) and Numbing Cold.
