I was asked why Ice Barrage has to effects when it hits, one being the ice cube and the other being something sparkling. Can someone tell me why it does this? Because i have no idea to why it does.

Its the effect of the spell 8-)

Maybe because of the Magic beeing released? Who knows. :ugeek:

Ya i guess it makes sense now, its like the other spells have two animations, one before they hit and another after they hit, im guessing tho :?

Its like the ice wave going to the target

All previous replys were wrong.

 

 

 

It's been updated, but here it is:

 

 

 

When you first hit an opponent and freeze him, you'll see the full 'ice cube' animation.

 

 

 

If you cast ice barrage and your opponent is already frozen, you will simply get a blueish expanding circle, similar to low alch, denoting that they are already frozen.

 

 

 

This circle will also appear for 2 seconds after your opponent is unfrozen, indicating that they are still immune. This was updated a while ago, around when GWD came out. It's very helpful for mages, as it allows you to see if your opponent has been frozen for a full 20 seconds or not.
