Ice Bolt

A fast bolt that hits hard and fires 1 bolt plus 1 for every 5 hard points in Frozen Orb, in a cone (5 at 20). With a point in Cold Mastery the bolts pierce: 3% chance per Ice Bolt level up to 60%, plus 2% per hard point in Ice Blast, so 100% with both at 20. Frost Nova is its only synergy (12% damage per level).

• Elemental damage synergies: Frost NovaIce Blast (removed)Glacial Spike (removed)Blizzard (removed)Frozen Orb (removed)

Elemental damage vs. the base game: level 1: +25%, level 10: +72%, level 20: +117%, level 30: +143%

Frozen Armor

+1% to all resistances per hard point while it's on, and attackers stay frozen longer: 2 seconds +0.2 per level (5.8 at 20).

Frost Nova

A little weaker at level 1 but much stronger later (150-162 cold at level 20) and costs 1 mana less than the base game, 8 plus 1 per level (27 at 20); its ring reaches further and grows with skill level, chill grows more slowly per level, and Shiver Armor adds 12% damage per level.

Not in the game yet Its ring starts at the base game's size and only Shiver Armor makes it bigger: +4% ring size per hard point (+80% at 20). Shiver Armor no longer adds damage to it, so Blizzard and Frozen Orb are its damage synergies (12% each).

• Elemental damage synergies: BlizzardFrozen OrbShiver Armor (new)

Elemental damage vs. the base game: level 1: -25%, level 10: +21%, level 20: +93%, level 30: +136%

Ice Blast

Pierces, flies faster, always freezes for 2 seconds; Glacial Spike now adds damage.

• Elemental damage synergies: Ice BoltGlacial Spike (new)BlizzardFrozen Orb
• Duration synergies: none any more (was Glacial Spike)

Shiver Armor

A glass-cannon armor: while it's on, your cold skills deal 3% more damage per level (+60% at 20), but you lose 1% defense per level and 2% all resistances per 5 hard points (-20% defense and -8% resistances at 20). It lasts longer at low level and grows less per level, still hurts melee attackers, and adds 12% per level to Frost Nova.

Not in the game yet Instead of 12% damage per level, each hard point makes Frost Nova's ring 4% bigger.

Chilling Armor

Lasts longer at low level, also chills and hurts melee attackers, and gives +1% to all resistances per hard point while it's on.

Blizzard

A denser storm whose ice shards each burst in a small area where they land, so it hits monsters evenly instead of missing some. To make up for it, Ice Bolt, Ice Blast and Glacial Spike add 4% damage per level (5% in the base game).

Frozen Orb

No cooldown and cheaper, but each orb hits a bit softer; Ice Blast now adds damage.

• Elemental damage synergies: Ice BoltIce Blast (new)

Elemental damage vs. the base game: level 1: -41%, level 10: -40%, level 20: -40%, level 30: -39%

Cold Mastery

Less resistance pierce, but now adds cold damage too and gives Ice Bolt its pierce chance (see Ice Bolt).

Glacial Spike

Always freezes for 2 seconds, costs more; Blizzard and Ice Blast add damage.

Charged Bolt

Fires more bolts the higher it goes: 3 at level 1, 12 at 10, 32 at 20 and up to 50 (the base game gives 22 at 20, at most 24), and they hit harder; Lightning, Telekinesis and Nova add damage.

• Elemental damage synergies: LightningTelekinesis (new)Nova (new)

Elemental damage vs. the base game: level 1: +33%, level 10: +73%, level 20: +72%, level 30: +53%

Telekinesis

A real damage spell with Charged Bolt and Nova synergies.

• Elemental damage synergies: Charged Bolt (new)Nova (new)

Elemental damage vs. the base game: level 1: +233%, level 10: +267%, level 20: +346%, level 30: +479%

Static Field

A smaller radius that grows slowly; it takes 25% of a monster's life plus 1% per 2 hard points (35% at 20), so a maxed Static Field brings bosses down to the game's limit in fewer casts.

Nova

Half the mana; Charged Bolt and Telekinesis add damage.

Not in the game yet A small cut: Charged Bolt and Telekinesis add 6% damage per level each instead of 7%, about 10% less damage with both at 20.

• Elemental damage synergies: Charged Bolt (new)Telekinesis (new)Static Field (removed)

Lightning

Starts lower but grows to a much higher top: up to 378 at level 20 (272 in the base game), about 30% more than Chain Lightning, and further ahead at higher levels; smaller synergies; costs about 11% less mana (15.5 instead of 17.5 at level 20).

Elemental damage vs. the base game: level 1: -25%, level 10: +25%, level 20: +39%, level 30: +37%

Chain Lightning

Keeps scaling past level 20, its cost grows more slowly, and Charged Bolt, Lightning and Nova add 5% damage per level (4% in the base game).

Thunder Storm

Each bolt hits harder (308-418 at level 20, was 195-294) and bursts into 6 small lightning bolts where it lands, each hitting for a quarter of the bolt's damage; strikes as often as in the base game, plus another storm for every 5 hard points in Energy Shield: at 20 points it strikes 5 times as often (about every 0.3 seconds at level 20 instead of every 1.6), each strike still one bolt with its 6-bolt burst; Telekinesis is its synergy now instead of Static Field.

• Elemental damage synergies: Telekinesis (new)Static Field (removed)

Elemental damage vs. the base game: level 1: +29%, level 10: +39%, level 20: +48%, level 30: +59%

Energy Shield

Absorbs 30% plus 2% per hard point (68% at 20, at most 80%); levels from items no longer raise it.

Not in the game yet Absorbs like in the base game with 20 hard points, +skills from items included (75% at level 20, up to 95%), and 2% less for every hard point below 20 (at least 20%).

Fire Bolt

A real starter that keeps scaling, with Fire Ball/Meteor synergies.

Elemental damage vs. the base game: level 1: +44%, level 10: +79%, level 20: +88%, level 30: +41%

Warmth

Also gives attack rating and +1% fire resistance per level.

Inferno

Hotter and cheaper with a shorter, faster flame that is three times as wide, so it hits more of a pack; Warmth, Blaze and Fire Wall add damage.

• Elemental damage synergies: WarmthBlaze (new)Fire Wall (new)

Elemental damage vs. the base game: level 1: +11%, level 10: +20%, level 20: +25%, level 30: +28%

Blaze

Twice the fire damage and a stronger Warmth synergy, Fire Wall adds 8% damage per level, and the fire trail lasts longer: 1.6 seconds more per level instead of 1 (35.6 seconds at 20, 23.6 in the base game).

• Elemental damage synergies: WarmthFire Wall (new)

Elemental damage vs. the base game: level 1: +100%, level 10: +100%, level 20: +100%, level 30: +100%

Fire Wall

Shorter walls you can cast more often; Inferno and Warmth synergies that matter.

Enchant Spells (was Enchant)

Renamed Enchant Spells: more weapon fire damage, a stronger Warmth synergy and a third of it on ranged attacks; on top it adds skill damage per element, tuned so each element gains about 15% real damage at level 20 next to its mastery: cold +1.4% per level (+28%), fire +4% plus 1.5% per level (+34%), lightning +5% plus 3% per level (+65%).

Meteor

A quarter of its damage is physical, shorter cooldown, falls faster; Fire Wall adds damage.

• Elemental damage synergies: Fire BoltFire BallFire Wall (new)
• Damage synergies: Fire Bolt (new)Fire Ball (new)Fire Wall (new)

Elemental damage vs. the base game: level 1: -25%, level 10: -25%, level 20: -25%, level 30: -25%

Hydra

Hydras spit small fire balls that burst on impact; Fire Bolt and Fire Ball synergies.

Fire Mastery

A little less fire damage, but now pierces fire resistance.

Lightning Mastery

Scales harder per point.
