Winter

Description
Create a level 1...8 Spirit. For creatures within its range, all elemental damage is cold damage instead. This Spirit dies after 30...126 seconds.

Usage Notes
This skill is very useful in the Hell's Precipice (Mission), as almost everything is weak to cold damage. When used in combination with Greater Conflagration, all physical damage is converted to cold damage as well.

Winter will neutralize Glimmering Mark and Mark of Rodgort, causing their conditions to never trigger. Thus make sure to coordinate with the elementalists in your team when bringing Winter. Works great if you know beforehand your opponents rely on the Mark spells.

If you are equipping armor or skill that boost defense specifically against Cold damage, having Winter extends that boosted defense to cover all enemy elemental attacks. Adding Greater Conflagration extends that boosted defense over all enemy physical attacks too. However, the reverse can also be true, if the enemy has boosted defense against cold.
