These colors periodically shift to various hues of its assigned color. Due to its elemental nature, the ice will draw energy from its handler, generally about 1 mana per instance. Rings can be recharged by casting any water or ice based spell ([[Minor Water (903)]], [[Major Cold (907)]], [[Cold Snap (512)]], [[Holy Bolt (306)]]) or [[Dark Catalyst (719]] while worn or in hand.
