'''Ice Armor''' is an unknown Tier [[skill]], likely from the [[Wizard]]'s [[Storm skill tree]], slowing movement and attack of enemies attacking the character.

Lacking physical armour, a Wizard needs magical protection in dangerous places. This Ice Armor will have a chilling impact upon anyone striking her, cooling them to the point where their movements becomes slower, and limiting their ability to move around.
==Skill Design==
Pretty straight forward spell. Useful especially when trying to run away from things, but also if the Wizard is occupied in [[melee]] combat, it will lower the damage she takes in a fray. It likely won't increase Armor or any other defensive stat.
The duration of the spell was shown as almost exactly 3/8 duration with 2 minutes left so it's safe to assume the duration is 6-8 minutes, but we do not know what the exact duration of the spell is.
==Skill Rank Table==
No rank details are known about the ranks of the spells.
==Synergies==
* None known, but likely to synergise with [[Arcane Armor]]
==[[Rune|Skill Rune]] Effects==
* None known.
==Development==
Ice Armor was first shown in August 2009 at GamesCom, seen in the [[GamesCom 2009 demo|gameplay demo]] [http://www.diii.net/blog/comments/gamescom-wizard-gameplay-footage/]. It was then not known if the spell is a Wizard skill or a shrine effect.
