Creeping Frost is a projectile cold spell that launches a frozen skull at a targeted area. The projectile will explode when it reaches the targeted area, or if it comes into contact with an enemy. This explosion causes initial damage and creates a chilled area that slows and deals cold damage over time to any enemies that enter it. This chilled ground area will move in the direction of nearby enemies.
