Cold Blast

Cold Blast is the cheapest available attack spell on the Serpent Isle and had been used in Britannia in earlier days as well.

Spell Description
Many offensive spells, such as Fireball, rely on hot fire to hurt enemies. The 'Cold Blast spell proves there are other ways of accomplishing this deed. Instead of fire, a massive iceball is thrown against the enemy, with devastating results. After the sphere's initial impact, the ice will often bury the foe beneath its sheer weight, freezing it to death. This makes it one of the stronger missile spells available.

This spell was originally called Iceball in Ultima IV, and made a reappearance in Ultima VII Part Two as Cold Blast. See Serpent Isle Magic.

Trivia

 * Despite the description in the book, the spell was not recoded or redrawn, thus a fireball is still thrown at the enemies.
