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).
