A snowdrift formed when Snowpacked Icicles shatter.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Summon Object (effect type 50). Its base value is 1.
  2. Effect 2 is Summon (effect type 28).

What it does

Snowdrift is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it summons an object and summons a creature.

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.
