The following is a very quick summary. See the [[Ray of Frost rune effects]] page for a more thorough description of rune effects, or any of the individual rune pages for numbers, screenshots, blue quotes, and much more.

==Development==

'''Ray of Frost''' was first seen at [[BlizzCon 2008]], but only in the gameplay movie; the Wizard used it against the trap laid out by the [[Skeleton King]]. It was available in the gameplay demo at [[BlizzCon 2009]], but was unfortunately too high level to try out by the fans.

Skill tiers were removed for the [[July 2011 Press Event]], allowing skills to unlock steadily from levels 1 to 30. Consequently, all skill levels were adjusted and Ray of Frost became a level 21 skill.

===Beta===

~~Skill tiers were removed shortly before the [[beta]] started in September 2011, and~~ {{Beta skill notes}} Ray of Frost ~~became a~~ remained at level 21 ~~skill~~when the beta started. ~~When the skill system was once again overhauled for~~ With the ~~[[Beta~~ Patch 13~~]] in February 2012~~changes, ~~Ray of Frost~~ it was classified as a Secondary skill and dropped all the way down to level 5, giving players their first opportunity to try it out. For March's [[Beta Patch 14]], it was dropped even further to level 2, but its damage output was increased slightly.
