Frost sword

The Frost Sword or Ice Sword is variety of enchanted blade which is imbued with the magical properties of ice, which allows it to cut with searing coldness. Variants of this weapon appear in the SNES Port of Ultima VII and in Ultima IX.

Description
Frost swords existed in the last days of the Avatar, and proved deadly weapons against many of the ravaging daemons and hellhounds which stalked the corrupted realm of Britannia in those days. In addition to dealing bitter damage to their victims (40-60 damage per stike), such blades had a substantial chance (40%) of causing those it struck to freeze solidly to the ground upon which they stood, rendering them helpless in the face of a potential killing blow.

Ice Sword
In the SNES Port of Ultima VII, an ice sword appears, which is ineffective against ice-aligned or elementally-invulnerable creatures, which includes: cyclopes, headless, stone harpies and trolls. Unlike the sword in Ultima IX, it does not cause opponents to freeze.
