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.

Lore Benefit

Training in Elemental Lore, Water increases the spell's damage factor (DF).

DF Increase
1 to 50

The total DF increase with 200 ranks EL, Water is 0.100.

Cone of Elements (518) can cast a multi-fire version of this spell with 20 ranks of Water Lore and all damage factor increases will carry over to the other spell.
