The majority of cold [[damage]] sources are found in the [[Elementalist]]'s [[Water Magic]] line, though cold damage is also plentiful in [[Necromancer]] offensive skills, and also appears in several [[Air Magic]] and [[Wind Prayers]] spells. Within weapons, cold damage can be inflicted by [[staff|staves]] and [[wand]]s with [[Water Magic]], as well as [[Curses]] and [[Death Magic]] [[Requirement|attribute requirements]]. Some wands and staves linked to [[Ritualist]] attributes or [[Energy Storage]] can generate with any elemental damage type, including cold damage. In addition, cold damage can also be inflicted by any [[martial weapon]] [[Upgrade component|upgraded]] with an [[Icy]] prefix upgrade.<br /> <br /> Unlike some other games, cold damage has no ''inherent'' effects such as slowing or shattering foes on hit. However, many Water Magic spells are hexes that both inflict cold damage and [[snare]] a target.<br /> <br /> Cold damage is particularly effective against [[fire damage]]-based foes. Using cold damage against a [[Flame Djinn]] will substantially increase damage one would otherwise do. Contrarily, cold damage is less effective against icy or cold-based enemies such as [[Ice Imp]]s.<br /> <br /> Generally within [[PvE]], cold damage is less common compared to the other elements due to its focus on [[snare_(tactic)|snaring]] and lower damage output. However, depending on the situation, and particularly against foes weak to cold damage, using cold damage may be preferable. Within [[PvP]], cold damage either commonly comes in the form of a side effect from utilizing [[Water Magic]] hexes to support allies via [[snaring]] foes or preventing them from dealing damage. However, cold damage also occurs within some [[spike]]s - sometimes as the primary damage source.<br /> <br /> ==Equipment that protects against cold damage==<br /> *Armor<br /> **{{r}} [[Frostbound
