A frost horn, when unidentified, is indistinguishable from other musical horns, but upon 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.
