Icy Blast [Property]

On command, an icy blast weapon is sheathed in icy cold (though this deals no damage to the wielder). On any hit, this cold washes over the creature struck, dealing +3d6 points of bonus cold damage. On a successful critical hit it instead deals +6d6 points of cold damage (or +9d6 if the critical multiplier is ×3, or +12d6 if the critical multiplier is ×4). Bows, crossbows, and slings with this property bestow the bonus cold damage upon their ammunition.

Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and Armor, Craft Epic Magic Arms and Armor, cone of cold.

Cost to Create: Varies.
