  • Ice Block

    Encases you in a block of ice, protecting you from all attacks and damage for 10 sec, but during that time you cannot attack, move, or cast spells. While inside Ice Block, you heal for 40% of your maximum health over the duration. Causes Hypothermia, preventing you from recasting Ice Block for 30 sec.

Winter's Protection leads on to Inspired Intellect and Mirror Image.

  • Inspired Intellect

    Arcane Intellect grants you an additional 2% Intellect.

  • Mirror Image

    Creates 3 copies of you nearby for 15 sec, which cast spells and attack your enemies. While active, you generate significantly reduced threat. Taking direct damage will cause one of your images to dissipate.

  • Time Walk
