Runes phase 2
Spellfrost Bolt (Belt):
Description: Unleash a formidable bolt of spellfrost upon your adversary, inflicting damage ranging from (* 203 / 100) to (* 237 / 100) Spellfrost damage. Additionally, this chilling assault slows the target's movement speed by 40% for a duration of 9 seconds.
Location: Embark on your quest for the Spell Notes: PELFRB STOLLOTS, a vital ingredient for mastering the elusive Spellfrost Bolt. These precious notes can be obtained by defeating the Skullsplitter Mystic residing just outside Zul'Gurub in the lush Stranglethorn Vale.
Beware, as the Skullsplitter Mystic roams with many spawn points and locations. Your journey may require diligent exploration among the other Skullsplitter mobs in the vicinity. Stay vigilant, brave adventurer, as the secrets to unlocking the power of Spellfrost Bolt await your discovery amidst the mystic echoes of Zul'Gurub.
Skullsplitter Mystic:

Frostfire Bolt (Belt):
Description: Unleash the power of elemental synergy with Frostfire Bolt, a formidable spell that hurls a bolt of frostfire at your adversary. This arcane marvel inflicts damage ranging from (* 258 / 100) to (* 300 / 100) Frostfire damage, while simultaneously imposing a 40% reduction in movement speed. The chilling effects, however, do not end there; Frostfire Bolt also inflicts an additional (* 8 / 100 * 3) Frostfire damage over a duration of 9 seconds.
A true blend of Frost and Fire, this spell is designed to challenge the target's resistances, checking against the lower of their Frost and Fire defenses. Brace yourself for a spell that not only deals immediate impact but leaves a lingering trail of elemental fury in its wake. Master the Frostfire Bolt, and let the dual forces of frost and fire dance at your command.
