The origins of this spell are unknown, yet it has existed in spell books for as long as anyone can remember. The High Elf Adept commands thorn-like splinters of ice and hurls them towards her enemy. A mere wave of her hand will either bundle the splinters into one burst or turn the burst of icicles into a nova blasting out in a circle with her at the center.

The following skills will affect this combat art:
- Mystic Stormite Lore - improves damage, critical chance and casting speed

- Ancient Magic - directly improves combat art damage

Usage Strategies
- The spread pattern of the thorns is controlled with mouse targetting.
- Clicking close to your character will cause a wide fan of Glacial Thorns, and with higher CA levels the area of the fan can cover almost 360 degrees.
- Clicking far from your character (i.e. in a corner of the screen) will cause the Glacial Thorns to concentrate together. This is useful when confronting a large and powerful monster, as it will be hit by most of the thorns at once. It may require some adjustment of the camera to be able to click/target a spot beyond a large monster to get this effect.
