How it works

Snowball is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 241.

  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 395.
  4. Effect 4 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Snowball is a spell with a 1.5 sec cast, a range of 20 yards and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it applies an aura.
