 [[Frozen Ramparts]] is a very strong spell, especially in hallways. It deals strong and guaranteed AOE damage, as long as you can survive a few hits without moving. The spell requires walls to function, but those are in abundance throughout the Dungeon (and even Lair). [[Ozocubu's Armour]] may give you just the defense you need in such a situation. They both are level 3 and pure Ice Magic, meaning its trivial to cast them both at the same time. Generally, Frozen Ramparts is the better option of the two if you're out of spell levels - it simply and reliably kills things.
-[[Summon Ice Beast]] summons... an [[ice beast]]. Summons are useful since they are cost efficient and because they can take damage for you. You can have up to 1 summoned ice beast at a time. Ice beasts also deal a small amount of physical damage.
+[[Summon Ice Beast]] summons... an [[ice beast]]. Summons in general are useful since they are cost efficient, make it easier to retreat from enemies, and can take damage for you. You can have up to 1 summoned ice beast at a time. Ice beasts also deal a small amount of physical damage, making them an option for taking out opposing cold-resistant enemies.

-Ice Elementalists are a fairly consistent choice; all three offensive spells simply can't miss. Ice damage doesn't slouch for damage, and freezes [[cold-blooded]] monsters like [[list of reptiles and amphibians|reptiles]] in the process. However, several kinds of enemies resist cold - early examples include the [[undead]] and [[ice beast]]s. Their starting spells also have poor range, though Ice Magic's power easily makes up for it.

-[[Hailstorm]] deals respectable, partially irresistible damage to enemies 2-3 spaces from you -- just outside the range of [[Freeze]]. It is most effective if you can catch multiple creatures at once, but is no less potent against a single target if you can manage to keep them in range. Learning [[Iskenderun's Mystic Blast]] or [[Swiftness]] can help with that.
