Ice Nova
Lua error in Module:Item2/core at line 500: The "class_id" parameter is required..
Reaching deep within, the caster of the mighty Ice Nova assaults surrounding enemies with a shivering blast of pure rime. The shock wave from this nova is often enough to slay outright, and those who survive the blast will be frozen, their very blood chilled solid. With precise use, a master weaver of frost can annihilate his enemies without suffering a scratch.
Description on the official Path of Exile website [1]
