'''Frost Nova''' is a Utility [[Wizard skill]] unlocked at [[clvl|levelLevel]] 1, sending out a flash of severe frost, damaging and often slowing enemies.
<br><br><br>__TOC__
==Background==
The [[Wizard]] has learned some knowledge of the [[Zann Esu]] [[mage clan]] that first tried to foster her like it did the [[Sorceress]] heroine, and improved on it. She has modified the staple Frost Nova to deal more damage and have a higher chance of hitting vital areas of opponents, freezing them in one spot.

The substantial [[cooldown]] decreases slightly with higher skill levels, but it's still an eternity after the zero cooldown on the {{iw|Sorceress_Cold_Spells#Frost_Nova D2 Frost Nova}}. However, it's not so bad if you use it wisely. Cast Frost Nova at the start of a battle, giving yourself some time/space to back up and pelt the enemy with projectiles, or hold it back for emergencies. Few battles in the BlizzCon 2009 demo lasted longer than 8 seconds, and not more than once or twice was the Wizard actually swarmed to the point that she needed this kind of freezing escape spell.
==Synergies==
* No [[synergies]] with any of the [[passive skill]]s are yet known.
===In Other Games===
This skill is an updated version of [[Diablo II]]'s {{iw|Sorceress Sorceress}} skill {{iw|Frost_Nova Frost Nova}} with improved graphics.
