How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Frostbolt 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. It applies the ensnared mechanic.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 50.

What it does

Frostbolt is a Frost spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura with the ensnared mechanic and deals Frost damage (base value 50).

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.
