How it works

Its aura has a 15% chance to proc when its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 42. It triggers Fireball!.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 30. It triggers Fireball!.

What it does

Brain Freeze is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Fireball!.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Wrath of the Lich King client, build 3.80.2.69874. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
