How it works

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). Its base value is 4.7581. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is 25. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -10. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Ice Nova is a Frost spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it deals Frost damage (base value 4.7581) in a 10 yard radius and applies an aura in a 10 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the snared mechanic. It stacks up to 10 times.

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.
