Ozocubu's Refrigeration (OR for short) is a level 7 Ice Magic spell which deals cold damage to all targets in line of sight. This ignores EV and has a 50% chance of slowing cold blooded targets.
However, for each monster hurt by this spell, the damage is reduced for every enemy that is directly adjacent to said monster:[1]
- One adjacent enemy to target: 70% damage
- Two or more adjacent enemies to target: 40% damage

Strategy
This spell is a room-wide spell that is also decent at taking down single targets. It has full range and never misses, which are useful traits for any spell.
Against a large, widely spaced group, you'll be doing about 30 damage to every monster in your line of sight. Teleported inside Elf:3's final vault? 4 OR casts later, it is mostly empty. A room full of boggarts? Easy. The adjacent creature penalty is harsh, but multiple casts will kill the weaker creatures.
Tips & Tricks
- This spell can be used as an alternative to, or in conjunction with, Freezing Cloud. The latter is an area spell that works better against cramped enemies.
- Casting Ozocubu's Refrigeration in quick succession takes a lot of MP. You may want to keep up the pressure with the aid of potions of magic, MP restoration on kills from The Shining One or Vehumet, or Sif Muna's Channel Magic.
- This spell will hurt your allies if they aren't immune to cold.
- Note that lightning spires, spellforged servitors, and derived undead (zombies, spectral things, simulacra) will not become hostile when attacked.
- A way to move adjacent monsters away from you is helpful; spells like Iskenderun's Mystic Blast make sure that you don't penalize Refrigeration's damage.
- This spell has an ironic synergy with a scroll of immolation, which helps negate this spell's "adjacent enemies" penalty. The inner flame enchantment creates a flame cloud on every enemy you hit. This increases damage output, allowing OR to deal more against a clump of enemies, Then, once you kill an enemy, the immolation will start a chain reaction, wiping out the rest of the pack.
Quality of Life improvements
