How it works

Ice Trap is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 192. Its base value is -50.

What it does

Ice Trap is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 14 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the snared mechanic.

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.
