    Brain Freeze is a passive mage ability learned at level 77 for those who have chosen the Frost specialization. It gives [Frostbolt] and subsequent multistrikes a chance to grant an instant-cast [Frostfire Bolt] at zero mana cost while acting as if the enemy were frozen.

    Notes[]

    • This allows for great mobility in PvP, giving the Frost Mage even stronger burst potential.
