The Cone of Cold spell creates a cone-shaped blast of extreme cold emanating from the wizard's hand.

Description[]

When this spell is cast, it generates a cone-shaped area of extreme cold originating at the wizard's hand and extending outward in a cone 17 ft. long with a 90-deg. arc. It drains heat and causes 1d4+1 points of damage per level of the caster. For example, a 10th-level wizard would cast a cone of cold causing 10d4+10 points of damage.

Gameplay[]

As the cone spreads fairly slowly, a fast player can try to outrun it. Enemies will generally not try that.

In Baldur's Gate 2, the Wand of Frost applies a version of this spell (not in BG1, where the wand behaves differently).

When this spell is cast, it causes a cone-shaped spray of extreme cold to spring forth from the wizard’s hand. The cone is 30 feet in length and spread out in a horizontal arc of 60 degrees in front of the wizard. It drains heat and causes 1d4+1 points of damage per level of experience of the wizard (to a maximum of 15d4+15 at level 15), with a save vs. breath at -4 allowed for half damage.

Note:The SR version more accurately describes the actual cone size in real game effect area. The SR version scales up to level 15, however the saving throw is changed, and has a large saving throw penalty vs. Breath Attack. More importantly, it has a 1 casting time.
