Skill functions and interactions

Comparison with (note that they are not incompatible):

• The mana multipliers are the same.
• At level 20, the average added damage out-scales Added Cold Damage's average added damage at 7+ frenzy charges (~6.7 charges for min. added, ~7.2 charges for max. added).
• At higher levels, one would need even more frenzy charges to gain more damage.
• The quality bonus is double for Ice Bite, but only affects hits on frozen targets.
• Ice Bite also grants chances to freeze and frenzy charges on killing a frozen target.
