'''Throw Icicle''' is a level 4 [[Conjurations]]/[[Ice Magic]] spell which hurls an icy shard at a single enemy up to 6 tiles away. It deals an impressive 3d20 damage at max [[spell power]], making it fairly useful even in later portions of the game. Because it deals 40% [[cold]] damage and 60% physical, it gives [[ice elementalist]]s a means of taking down [[undead]] foes and [[ice beast]]s.

Version 0.25: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
Fires a shard of ice. Due to its strong impact and cutting edges, a significant portion of its damage bypasses cold resistance.

Throw Icicle is a level 4 Conjurations/Ice Magic monster-only spell which hurls an icy shard at a single target up to 5 tiles away. Only 40% of its damage is reduced by cold resistance, making it effective even against players with significant protection from Ice Magic.

Because Throw Icicle fires a projectile, it can pass through clouds of flame without negating them; hiding behind Conjure Flame will not protect you the same way it would with other forms of icy magic.

The following enemies cast Throw Icicle:
