Notes

• Activation base is in Mana and values vary with fatigue%.
• Cold Damage values are displayed in the game as the color: Light Blue.
• Arcane Warrior Spellcasting: The spell requires be cast with your weapon(s) sheathed.
• The damage from Blizzard is applied in a special way. Instead of directly applying the damage at each interval, an Over Duration-type effect is applied.
• Blizzard can be cast on creatures or locations not in line of sight. A mage can cast this spell on creatures in a different room when using the overhead view. This allows the mage to stay out of physical harm by staying out of reach of those creatures.
