Usage
Frozen Armor is one of the two Cold Spells a Sorceress can learn at first level. It is one of her 6 defensive skills (the others being the other ice armor spells, and mana shield/telekinesis/teleport in the lightning tree)
Frozen Armor will create a sparkling field around the player. Besides giving a bonus to defense, when enemies strike the player, they will be frozen for a set period of time (keep in mind it does not deal damage to enemies like Shiver Armor).
In PvP, other players will be chilled instead of being frozen. Keep in mind that by Hell mode, Freeze length is reduced to 1/4 of its original; without synergies, Frozen Armor is all but useless in later difficulties.
History
This defensive spell is a useful tool for protecting the novice from the dangers of combat. This icy shield both protects the Sorceress and impairs the progress of all who would attack her with blade or club.
