It's a [[signature skill]] of the Wizard.
==[[Synergies]]==
Blizzard benefits directly from the following [[traitWizard traits]]s:
* [[Black Ice]]: Frozen targets take 25% more damage from all sources.
* [[Glass Cannon]]: Increases damage done by spells and increases armor.
* [[Power Surge]]: Increase critical strike damage.
* [[Penetrating Spells]]: Reduces the resistances of your target to your spells by 20%.
'''Note:''' The current [[trait]] list is very out-of-date and will no doubt be overhauled before game release.
===Previous Versions===
See the [[Wizard skill archive]] for more details on previous versions of Blizzard and other Wizard skills.
===Blizzard in Other Games===
Blizzard is a spell with a lot of heritage. The first version of this spell is seen in the classic [[WarCraft: Orcs and Humans|WarCraft I]] from 1994 as a human Wizard spell (irony), and has been present in any Blizzard game (bar [[Diablo I]]) since. [[WarCraft II]] has it as a human mage spell, [[StarCraft]] doesn't have it, but has a very similar psionic storm, [[Diablo II]] has it as a [[Sorceress]] spell, [[WarCraft III]] has it as an Archmage hero ability and [[World of WarCraft]] has it as a Mage spell.
