How it works

Each cast of Frost Nova costs 75 Mana. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Frost Nova is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 189. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 20 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26. It applies the rooted mechanic. Its area radius is 50000 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is 50. Its area radius is 50000 yards.

What it does

Frost Nova is a Frost spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it deals Frost damage (base value 189) in a 20 yard radius, applies an aura with the rooted mechanic in a 50000 yard radius and applies an aura in a 50000 yard radius. 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.
