Lore
Ice Lance is an instant cast mage spell that deals Frost damage, with no cooldown. Critically, the damage is doubled versus targets that are frozen, making it extremely effective when combined with other Frost spells, although while this matches its appearance in Hearthstone, its World of Warcraft incarnation does not itself freeze targets. As such, it is a key spell in the Frost mage arsenal, allowing them to deal the sudden bursts of damage for which they are infamous. As an instant spell, it is often cast while moving, typically while strafing away from pursuing targets, allowing the mage to deal powerful damage while fleeing.
Trivia
- The artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "Drums of War" series, for the card Ice Lance.
