'''Bolt of Cold''' is a level 6 [[Conjurations]]/[[Ice Magic]] spell capable of striking multiple targets along its path, doing a considerable amount of cold damage. It is more or less the exact analogue of a [[Bolt of Fire]], with the same damage potential and accuracy (but not range).

Bolt of Cold does 100% of its damage as cold, which can be mitigated by [[cold resistance]]. It interacts with terrain and clouds as follows:

|hit_num = 1
*Destroys [[cloud]]s of flame, losing five squares of range for each cloud of flame it destroys.

|hit_denom = 25
*Creates 2-6 clouds of steam for each square of lava it passes over.

*Creates one freezing cloud, plus one more for every 30 points of maximum damage the beam possesses, for each square of water it passes over - but only if its maximum damage is at least 36.

Prior to [[0.25]], Bolt of Cold was a level 6 [[Conjurations]]/[[Ice Magic]] spell available to players.  
Player-launched Bolts of Cold have a range of 7-16 squares (flat distribution), doing damage specified by
 
calc_dice(6, 18 + power * 2 / 3)
 
with a to-hit number of (10 + power / 25).
 
 
 
For example:
 
*Bolt of Cold with power 50 does 6d8 (6-48) damage and has a [[to-hit]] number of 12.
 
*Bolt of Cold with power 100 does 6d14 (6-84) damage and has a to-hit number of 14.
 
 
 
==Monster Version==
 
Cast by a monster, the spell has power equal to 12 times the caster's hit dice (like any monster spell). All monster-launched Bolts of Cold do an amount of damage given by
 
 
 
dice_def(3, 8 + power / 11)
 
 
 
with a to-hit number of (17 + power / 25). Thus, thrown by a 15 HD caster, it will do 3d24 (3-72) damage and have a to-hit number of 24.
