Ice Rod

The Ice Rod is a spell that was added in the 1.1 patch. The sprite is similar to that of The Breaker and the Rainbow Rod. It can be bought from a rescue-able wizard for 1.

The Ice Rod shoots an ice block wherever your cursor is pointing. Once the fired ice block stops moving, the player can walk on it, making it a useful way to descend into deep caves if the player does not have a way to prevent fall damage or to get to floating islands with rocket boots or wings as you can shoot them under yourself and land on them which will reset your flight item's charge. After a few moments, the ice block will melt. This ice block also emits a slight light and some light particles. In addition, this uses 7 mana, deals 26 magic damage, and has a 4% critical strike chance before armor and accessories.



You can also make the ice blocks permanent by placing a chest onto to ice blocks and waiting for the particles to fade away. You can use them to build but will still break easily and won't drop a block. You can use it to build an ice fortress or just look cool. Won't give off any light in this form or drop any particles, sadly. The Ice Projectiles can't pass through lava, being destroyed as if hit a solid block.

Also, in a strange bug, if you use the ice rod on a server, you will sometimes be kicked for placing impossible to place blocks - This can be expected though, as it allows you to build in a way that isn't "building".
