[Introducing a new debuff: Frostbite. This debuff stacks up to 3 times with no periodic damage over time. Each stack reduces all target speeds (attack and movement) by 5%. When fully stacked, it freezes the enemy for 1.5 seconds. After 1.5 seconds or if the enemy takes any damage or damage source, they will break free from the ice, suffering a fixed 35 Frost damage and removing all Frostbite stacks.]
#Ice/Frost Spells and Elemental Reaction

① Frost spells are generally offensive in nature, but there is one utility-oriented spell among them. The five spells are as follows:
-Ice Shard: Offensive spell. Upon casting, it deals 1~3 instances of damage(deals small area damage source). Each enemy hit by the shard only gains 1 stack of Frostbite.
-Ice Wall: Utility spell. Upon casting, raises an ice wall (wall volume determined by the development team) with 200 base health. It can block enemy attacks (including certain special attacks from elite enemies and bosses). If an enemy is in the spawn location, they are knocked back (dealing no damage, only knockback), and each knocked-back enemy gains only 1 stack of Frostbite.
-Frost Vortex: Offensive spell. Upon casting, generates a Frost Vortex at the target location lasting 2.5 seconds. Ground-based enemies are pulled into the vortex (flying enemies cannot be pulled), suffering continuous Frost damage. Each enemy pulled in gains only 1 stack of Frostbite (does not stack repeatedly).
-Frost Explosion: Offensive spell. Unleashes a Frost Explosion centered on the player, dealing one instance of damage to enemies within range. Enemies hit receive a special Frost Explosion Mark from this skill. When a marked enemy takes any damage or is killed directly by this skill, it triggers a Frost Explosion at that enemy's location, dealing damage to enemies within range and applying only 1 stack of Frostbite to each affected enemy. (This skill itself cannot stack Frostbite, but the special Frost Explosion Mark applied by the skill, when detonated, applies Frostbite to surrounding enemies.)
-Frost Tornado: Offensive spell. Transforms the player into a medium-sized Frost Tornado for 3 seconds. Players can control the tornado's movement direction. The player is not invincible but gains over 75% damage reduction. Enemies touched by the Frost Tornado are knocked back, take damage, and gain 2 stack of Frostbite.
② Elemental Reactions Between Frost Spells and Other Elemental Spell Types: (A conceptual outline; due to space constraints, not all in-game skills are listed.)
-Reaction 1: When the Geyser spell from the Acid spell type reacts with any Frost spell, it instantly freezes the Acid Geyser pillar generated by Geyser for 1 second. Nearby enemies gain 2 stacks of Frostbite. After 1 second, or if the player actively attacks the frozen Acid Geyser pillar (with any damage source), it triggers a large area of shatter damage. If the Acid Geyser pillar generated by the Acid Geyser spell previously reacted with the Strikes spell from the Elec spell type, causing the Acid Geyser pillar to split, then subsequently using a Frost spell will freeze all the split Acid Geyser pillars. Each split pillar applies 2 stacks of Frostbite to nearby enemies. The subsequent shatter mechanic remains the same as above. (Note: This shatter damage does not stack Frostbite nor remove Frostbite from enemies, as it is the Acid Geyser pillar being directly frozen by any Frost spell.)
-Reaction 2: When the Geyser spell from the Acid spell type reacts with a specific Frost spell such as Frost Vortex or Frost Tornado, it generates a spiraling eruption of ice shards at the reaction location. These shards deal damage to enemies they hit and apply 2 stacks of Frostbite. The Acid Geyser pillar is also frozen, consistent with Reaction 1.
-Reaction 3: When the Strikes spell from the Elec spell type reacts with the Ice Wall spell, it triggers an air condensation centered on the ice wall. This instantly freezes nearby enemies, removes Frostbite debuffs from surrounding enemies, and doubles the Ice Wall's health. (A fascinating reaction between Frost and Elec.)
-Reaction 4: When any Elec spell reacts with any Frost spell, it generates the same air condensation as described in Reaction 3.
-Reaction 5: After the Geyser spell from the Acid spell type reacts with any Frost spell to freeze an Acid Geyser pillar, if the Pyro spell type is then used to shatter the frozen Acid Geyser pillar, it will directly generate a Fire Tornado and trigger a vaporization explosion against surrounding enemies.
