What it does

Chains of Ice is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the rooted mechanic.

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.
