The ice equivalent of Fire Storm, Ice Storm creates a huge (3 or 4 squares in radius including the center) blast of ice and freezing vapour. Like Fire Storm, it inflicts incredible damage, up to 7d32 damage at max spellpower, and it even pierces cold resistance more than Fire Storm pierces fire resistance: 55% of Fire Storm can be resisted whereas only 40% of Ice Storm can be resisted. However, Ice Storm does not create any vortexes and uses beam-targeting instead of smite targeting. This means that it is generally considered inferior to Fire Storm, though still very powerful.
