Vaal Cold Snap is a Vaalspell that causes an initial burst of ice to explode around the player, freezing enemies. After the burst an area of damage over time releases from the player chilling any enemy that comes into contact with it as well as awarding Frenzy charges every second per enemy in the area. This area is considered chilling ground.
The Damage over Time interacts with spell damage like most DoT skills. It also interacts with multiple sources of cold DoT.
