'''Ice bolt''' is a [[monster spell]] that appears in [[EvilHack]] and [[Hack'EM]].

==Description==
Ice bolt can be used by any monster that can cast mage spells. When cast, the caster will target a monster that they can see (or the square where they believe that monster to be) with a 3x3 explosion of ice centered on that square; if successful, the explosion can destroy [[potion]]s in the open inventory of any monsters caught within. The spell can miss the monster and blast the floor or ceiling harmlessly. Monsters will not use this spell against another monsters if they know that the target has [[cold resistance]].

-Monsters will not use this spell against a monster that is peaceful and not subject to a [[grudge]], or else one they know to have cold resistance. Monsters will also avoid using the spell if they are not aware of an appropriate target, would be caught in their own blast, or else they would target you while you have [[invulnerability]], e.g. from a successful [[prayer]].
