How it works

Each cast of Frost Nova costs 70 Energy. Casting it triggers a 1 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 655. It scales with 0.193 times spell power. Its area radius is 15 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26. Its area radius is 15 yards.

What it does

Frost Nova is a Frost spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 10 sec cooldown and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it deals Frost damage (base value 655) in a 15 yard radius and applies an aura in a 15 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.
