The Wand of Frosting is a pre-Hardmode wand and the direct upgrade to the Wand of Sparking. When used, it fires a blue spark that travels in a slight curve for about 23 tiles before dissipating. The spark can pierce one enemy and has a 1/2 (50%) chance to inflict the Frostburn debuff for 2 seconds (2/3 (66.67%) chance) or 3 seconds (1/3 (33.33%) chance). The Wand of Frosting also has a base 14% critical strike chance as opposed to the usual 4%.

Its best modifier is Demonic or Deadly, with the former granting improved critical strike chance and the latter granting improved speed. It cannot get modifiers that affect knockback or mana cost.

Notes

  • The projectile has a lifespan of 1 second, but its remaining lifespan is halved upon hitting its first target.[1]
  • In Don't dig up and Get fixed boi worlds, the Wand of Frosting receives the following changes due to the Wand of Sparking being Hardmode-exclusive:
    • Damage increased from 15 to 42.
    • Use time decreased from 26 to 10.
    • Mana cost increased from 2 to 6.
    • Velocity increased from 7 to 12.
    • Inflicts Frostbite instead of Frostburn.
    • Sell value increased from 15 SC to 5 GC5 SC.
