This spell surrounds a weapon or launcher held by the caster with an aura of freezing cold. It will not affect weapons which are otherwise subject to special enchantments.

Freezing Aura is a level 2 Charms/Ice Magic spell which temporarily adds the freezing brand to any unbranded, non-artefact weapon you currently wield. When cast on a melee weapon, this increases your damage output significantly, especially against targets vulnerable to ice such as crimson imps. It also occasionally causes cold-blooded foes you strike to be slowed. When cast on a ranged weapon, it will deal no additional damage, but will deal 100% cold damage, making the weapon significantly better against vulnerable foes but much worse against cold resistant ones. Unwielding the weapon will end the spell early.

History

Freezing Aura will be removed in 0.15.
