. Strikes with Glacial Hammer that hit a target also deal damage to other targets in an area of effect. The area damage is equal to the cold damage portion of the strike, after any damage conversion is done.[1]

Melee Splash Support can be used conjunction with Winter Burial. Doing so has limited utility though, since it will not double up on the splash damage effect.[1]
