-Aside from injury, however, cold damage also has other effects: every time you take cold damage, each [[potion]] in your [[inventory]] is subjected to a small chance of shattering. This can be very costly in areas where cold damage is common, but you can minimize this risk with the [[conservation]] intrinsic (reduces the chance of each potion shattering by 90%) or by storing most of your potions in your [[stash]].

 ==Cold Sources==
 It is relatively easy for characters to gain access to sources of cold damage. Almost any character type can benefit from common [[freezing]]-branded weapons, which deal additional cold damage on top of their normal physical damage. Ranged weapon-users can instead use [[frost]] missiles; these do 100% of their normal damage as cold damage.
-Zapping a [[wand of frost]] or [[wand of cold]] allows almost any character to inflict cold damage at range, softening up threats from a distance or killing them outright. Some [[rods]] and other evocable items also have cold damage options available, usually with greater damage potential but at a greater cost.
+Zapping a [[wand of iceblast]] allows almost any character to inflict cold damage at range, in a 3x3 area of effect, softening up threats from a distance or killing them outright.
 The [[Ice Magic]] school is also available to [[ice elementalist]]s or any character with [[Spellcasting]] capabilities and an appropriate [[book]]. This school is less devoted to direct offense then [[Fire Magic]], offering a variety of utility and defense spells as well.
