Ice Magic

Version 0.32: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Ice Magic skill determines how easily you can cast spells that employ ice, cold, and frost.

Ice Magic provides many "subtle" spells: most Ice spells cause passive effects, affect a large area, or both. Many of them are quiet. In this way, the school strikes a good balance between offense and defense. Ice-based spells are generally resistible with cold resistance.
