	Low level [[Ice Elementalist]]s should learn this as soon as possible to give themselves a ranged attack, but should not consider this a replacement for [[Freeze]]. Freeze costs half as much, has perfect accuracy, ignores AC, deals comparable damage, and slows cold-blooded monsters. At low spellpower, Throw Frost is significantly less effective; it's a common mistake for players to waste most of their MP casting Throw Frost as an enemy approaches, leaving them with nothing in reserve for melee range. Until you get some magical muscle behind your casting, you might be better off hurling [[javelin]]s until your foe gets close enough for Freeze.

 '''Throw Frost''' is a level 2 [[Conjurations]]/[[Ice Magic]] spell which blasts a single target with a small shot of cold damage. It has good range and modest accuracy.

 '''Throw Frost''' is a level 2 [[Conjurations]]/[[Ice Magic]] spell which blasts a single target with a small bolt of cold. Low level [[Ice Elementalist]]s should use it to take out or soften up enemies which are particularly dangerous in melee, such as [[ogre]]s or [[orc warrior]]s, but should almost always prefer the more MP- and power-efficient, AC- and EV-ignoring [[Freeze]] in melee.  [[Conjurer]]s may use this spell for a while as well, but most characters will have more efficient means of killing monsters by the time they find it.
