Althafain's Icer is a magician's tool used to magically enhance swords in Betrayal at Krondor. It provides the Frosted enchantment, granting blades the ability to do extra Frost damage.
Description[]
Invented by Althafain the Artificer, Althafain's Icer resembles a wand with a frost-encrusted crystal tip that trails a faint mist. The handle is engraved with instructions explaining its use in magically treating a sword, which is accomplished by sliding the Icer's point along the length of the blade. The blue frost that forms on a treated weapon causes incredible pain.
Literature[]
The enchantment bestowed by the Icer is mentioned in Chapel's Rmur n Whepuns, which notes that frost-bladed weapons can be neutralized with Sarigsbane. A soldier's text in The Vaults notes that certain wyverns are particularly vulnerable to frost-bladed weapons.
