How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 107. Its base value is 1000.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 107. Its base value is -4.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 107. Its base value is -7.

What it does

Permafrost is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it applies an aura.

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.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 15 separate Spell records named "Permafrost". This page is record #11175. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page. The 12 records closest by id are compared here.
