The Wizard uses her powers of the elements to gush forth a beam of pure cold, damaging anyone that comes in its way.
==Skill Design==
This one sounds like a cold based Disintegrate, minus the piercing ability, but it's never been seen in use since the very first Wizard gameplay movie, from [[BlizzCon 2008]]. It was too high level to try out at [[BlizzCon 2009]].
==Skill Rank Table==
* '''Rank 1:''' 8 damage per second.
Only Rank 1 is currently known.
==Synergies==
* None known.
==[[Rune|Skill Rune]] Effects==
* None known.
==Development==
Ray of Frost was first shown at [[BlizzCon 2008]], but only in teh gameplay movie used against the trap laid out by the [[Skeleton King]]. It was available in the gameplay demo used 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.
==Trivia==
This is one of the spells that seem to be coming from the dungeons & Dragons inspiration we've seen in [[Diablo III]]. The new [[D3 Team]] obviously spent a lot of time in mom's basement...
