How it works

Each cast of Cone of Cold costs 120 Mana. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Cone of Cold is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 438.523. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Cone of Cold is a Frost spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 10 yard radius and deals Frost damage (base value 438.523) in a 10 yard radius.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the WoW Forever beta client, build 1.60.1.70532. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
