Frost Shards

Frost Shards is the second weapon of the Hexen Mage. It is a spell which uses Blue Mana to launch a wide, cross-shaped spread of magical ice darts which can freeze enemies. If used at very close range, the mage can touch the enemy with his hand inflicting significantly more damage. Frozen monsters and players will shatter if left alone for a few seconds, or attacked.

Curiously, if the mage is moving fast enough (i.e. using the Boots of Speed), the ice projectiles may damage the mage instead of firing outward.
