Frostbolt
Frostbolt is a cold spell that fires a slow-moving projectile that pierces all targets. Frostbolt interacts with Ice Nova and Vortex, allowing those spells to be cast on Frostbolt projectiles instead of the player.
Skill functions and interactions
Ice Nova and Vortex: When Ice Nova or Vortex is cast while the player has active Frostbolt projectiles, the skills will be cast on the projectiles rather than the player but with 20% less area of effect. Ice Nova will cast on up to 2 Frostbolts, and Vortex will cast on up to 4. Vortex will consume the projectiles, but Ice Nova will not.
Projectile speed: Frostbolt's total projectile distance traveled is not affected by changes to projectile speed (such as Faster Projectiles Support or Slower Projectiles Support).
Fork and Chain: Frostbolt projectiles will always pierce, and therefore can never fork or chain.
