How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. Its base value is 1.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It scales with 1 times spell power. It triggers Snowball Resistant.

What it does

Snowball is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 1 sec. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Snowball Resistant.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Burning Crusade client, build 2.5.6.70006. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
