How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Ice Nova is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). It scales with 1.38 times spell power. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 455. It applies the rooted mechanic. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 8.

What it does

Ice Nova is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards, a 25 sec cooldown and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it deals Frost damage in an 8 yard radius and applies an aura with the rooted mechanic in an 8 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.
