Studies for a [[Wizard]], in how to increase the vulnerability of [[frozen]] targets.
==Skill Design==
Too low level to try out at [[BlizzCon 2009]], this cold mastery has an odd twist, in that only [[frozen]] targets are given extra damage. That makes it sound like something of a speciality attack, only of use to [[Wizards]] who were really going to maximize their freezing capabilities. It's unknown if some items will have freezing [[monster]] bonuses, or ways to raise [[critical hit]] chance, since [[cold]] critical hits cause freezing.
More generally, [[boss]]es can't be frozen, and monsters that are frozen are pretty much helpless and sitting ducks anyway, so would boosting your damage, just to them, be worth the skill points?
==Skill Rank Table==
* '''Rank 1:''' +25% damage to [[frozen]] targets.
* '''Rank 2:''' +50% damage to [[frozen]] targets. (projected)
* '''Rank 3:''' +75% damage to [[frozen]] targets. (projected)
* '''Rank 4:''' +100% damage to [[frozen]] targets. (projected)
* '''Rank 5:''' +125% damage to [[frozen]] targets. (projected)
==Synergies==
* None known.
==[[Rune|Skill Rune]] Effects==

==Development==
Bonechilling Cold was first shown at [[BlizzCon 2009]], but was unfortunately too high level to try out by the fans. The skill is assumed to still be available in Blizzard's internal game build today.
