Frost Armor is a mage spell that grants a self buff which increases armor, frost resistance and has a chance to snare attackers. Enemies that attack with melee have a chance to become chilled, slowing their movement and attack speed.

It cost 2 40 to learn at level 54.

Tips and tactics

The snare effect means never having to fight aggressive mobs you'd rather run past, assuming they don't resist every time. On foot, a chasing creature will get in 2 or 3 hits (some things run faster and swing faster than others) before you outpace them; mounted characters will be hit a single time before getting away.
