Description[]
Enemies that gets hit by this skill have a chance to be cursed into Stone. If the curse succeeds, the enemy will be slowed down for 5 seconds, then they will turn into stone for 6 seconds. After 5 seconds of being stoned, it will take 1% of its max HP in damage (EX3). Hitting a fully Stoned enemy will end the Stone status. Sadly, this move cannot affect boss monsters,
- The Curse success rate is increased with every point added to the skill level.
- The chance is 20% + 4%*SkillLevel, or 24% to 60%.
A fully Stoned enemy takes different amounts of damage than normal from attacks and spells. First, the target has its damage vulnerabilities modified for one hit, taking 150% physical and 75% magical damage. Second, the enemy has its elemental defense changed to Earth 1, taking 150% Fire damage and 50% Lightning (Wind) damage. (Ice spells are nonelemental.) The element change lasts for 1.5 seconds after the first hit.

| 3 | 32% |
| 4 | 36% |

Strategy[]
It can be used to disable multiple boss' minions so you can leave them alone and deal with the boss. If you just want to deal bonus damage, I suggest just casting Fire Bolt twice instead
There are a few perks that Frost Diver does not have
- It can easily hit multiple enemies who are unfortunate enough to get caught in the blast, something Frost Diver struggles to do
- It does not have any prerequisite. In comparison, it requires 3 less skill points to unlock than Frost Diver - effectively making it 2 less skill points required for the same success rate.
This spell has 4 major setbacks which are
- The duration is very short, and the chance is slightly lower than Frost Diver, (at the same skill level)
- a melee range magic spell
- Does not instantly apply the petrification
- No effect on boss type monsters
This move still has its uses for melee battle mages as a support attack since the amount of INT doesn't change the spells usefulness.
