-The monster version of Freeze works identically to the player version.
+The monster version of Freeze works similar to the player version. However, it does not share the player version's low power cap -- [[player ghost]]s that know Freeze will be able to inflict heavy, defense-ignoring cold damage at close range.

 Freeze has comparatively high damage, and ignores both AC and EV, which makes it useful for longer than most level 1 spells. It is an excellent spell for taking out [[out-of-depth]] cold-blooded monsters, such as [[adder]]s and [[bullfrog]]s. Its also useful against highly evasive enemies (such as [[killer bee]]s) or early monsters that can turn [[invisible]] (such as [[orc wizard]]s or [[sky beast]]s). But like all level 1 spells, its damage eventually becomes too low to consider for primary use.
