==Skill Design==
This one [[skill]] 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.
==[[Synergies]]== Ray of Frost benefits directly from the following [[traitstrait]]s:

* [[Power Surge]]: Increase critical strike damage.
* [[Penetrating Spells]]: Reduces the resistances of your target to your spells by 20%.
==[[Rune|Skill Rune]] Effects==
* None known.
==Development==
Ray of Frost was first shown at [[BlizzCon 2008]], but only in teh the 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...
