Minor Cold will send a chunk of ice from the palm of the caster or tip of a wand to slam into an opponent with powerful force. In addition to the initial concussive damage, either impact or cold critical injuries may also occur with a successful attack.

The Attack Strength for this spell is primarily a function of the caster's Spell Aiming skill and Dexterity bonus, although other spells, such as Elemental Focus (513) and Elemental Targeting (425), can add significantly to its effectiveness. Successful attacks will cause the target to sustain hitpoint damage and possibly impact or cold critical injuries.
