Ice Bolt [top]

Picture	Contents
	Ice Bolt Required Level: 1 Prerequisites: None	Screen shot
One of the first spells a novice of the frigid elements learns is the power to summon crystals of pure freezing energy. When hurled at her enemies, these bolts subject their targets to freezing pain and impaired movement.

Effect: Shoots a bolt of ice that damages and slows your victim.

A great early level spell useful for chilling monsters. Before specializing too heavily in Ice Bolt, keep in mind that Ice Blast is available at level 6. Ice Blast will freeze monsters and blast them into pieces making it impossible for other Monsters to raise them.

Frozen Armor [top]

	Frozen Armor Required Level: 1 Prerequisites: None	Screen shot Animation
This defensive spell is a useful tool for protecting the novice from the dangers of combat. This icy shield both protects the Sorceress and impairs the progress of all who would attack her with blade or club.

Effect: Gives a defense bonus and freezes any melee attacker that hits you.

Player vs Player - Other players will be Chilled instead of being Frozen.

Frost Nova [top]

	Frost Nova Required Level: 6 Prerequisites: None	Screen shot
Like the Lightning Nova, this spell is effective against large groups of swarming melee attackers. Although less damaging than its electrical kin, the immobilizing effects of the cold can convey other advantages.

Effect: Creates an expanding ring of ice and frost that damages and slows enemies.

Player vs Player - Other players will be Chilled instead of being Frozen.

Ice Blast [top]

Picture	Contents
	Ice Blast Required Level: 6 Prerequisites: Ice Bolt	Screen shot
The freezing damage of this spell can shatter an opponent into icy shards, leaving enemy spellcasters little material with which to resurrect their minions. In this way the Sorceress can make quick work of those who would use the dead against her.

Effect: Creates a bolt of ice that completely freezes a target.

Player vs Player - Other players will be Chilled instead of being Frozen.

An upgrade to Ice Bolt, Ice Blast will Freeze a monster in place. The monster will be frozen and unable to attack until it thaws out. If you continue to attack the Monster while frozen it will shatter into pieces making it impossible to raise by other monsters. This is handy to use against Fallen Shaman, Greater Mummies and anything else that will raise monsters. Ice Blast can quickly immobilize a big army making them easy to take one by one. This is a very party friendly spell. You can freeze the monsters while a Paladin or Barbarian shatters them for example.

Shiver Armor [top]

	Shiver Armor Required Level: 6 Prerequisites: Frozen Armor, Ice Bolt, Ice Blast	Screen shot Animation
A significant upgrade from frozen armor, this defensive shield deals an icy blast to any attackers, numbing them with cold, searing pain.

Effect: Defense bonus, plus any melee attacker that hits you takes damage and is slowed.

Glacial Spike [top]

Picture	Contents
	Glacial Spike Required Level: 18 Prerequisites: Ice Bolt, Ice Blast	Screen shot Animation
More powerful than an Ice Blast, this is the offensive spell of choice for a higher-level Sorceress seeking a quick deathblow. The Sorceress who wields this spell will find herself often treading over the shattered and frozen remains of her opponents.

Effect: A shard of ice that inflicts massive cold damage and explodes to freeze nearby enemies.

A more powerful spell than Ice Blast, Glacial Spike fires much faster than Ice Blast, and does an area Freeze attack that Freezes monsters within a radius of 2.7 yards.

Blizzard [top]

Picture	Contents
	Blizzard Required Level: 24 Prerequisites: Ice Bolt, Ice Blast, Frost Nova, Glacial Spike	Screen shot
This is the most effective offensive spell that this discipline has to offer. With the invocation of this spell, entire hordes of enemies are left chilled or dead, drowned in a hail of ice. Wretched survivors of this wintry storm can do little but crawl and lament their fallen kin before they, too, succumb to the cold.

Effect: Summons an ice storm to rain cold death onto your enemies.

	Chilling Armor Required Level: 24 Prerequisites: Frozen Armor, Ice Bolt, Ice Blast	Screen shot
The best defensive spell available to a Sorceress is manifest in this formidable armor. The spell actually defends against ranged attacks, turning aside arrow and bolt. Those seeking to engage the Sorceress shall soon feel the icy bite of their folly.

Effect: Confers a defense bonus and launches an ice bolt against ranged attackers.
