A '''frost horn''', when unidentified, is indistinguishable from other musical [[horn]]s, but upon [[apply|application]], the player is prompted for a direction.  The horn acts like a [[wand of cold]], sending a beam in the desired direction, and is identified.
 
 
 
It is mostly identical to a wand of cold, except it can be recharged an unlimited number of times (up to a maximum of 20 charges at once), and deals 6 to 66 damage rather than 6 to 36 (depending on the circumstance).
 
 
 
==Generation==
 
 
 
Frost horns can be found anywhere a random tool can be generated, and they will be generated with 4 to 8 charges.
 
 
 
==Strategy==
 
 
 
You should identify an unknown horn as soon as possible - a frost horn is a good attack weapon, but you don't want to discover that an unidentified horn is actually a [[horn of plenty]] when a horde of monsters has you pinned down at the end of a corridor.
 
 
 
Answering no to the "Improvise?" prompt lets you use the horn as a musical instrument without  using up any charges.
