Ice Rod

The Ice Rod is a spell which can create ice blocks. The blocks can be walked on as well as block enemies from passage, but will "melt" only a few seconds after creation. The ice blocks will be placed wherever your cursor is.

The Ice Rod can be 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, resetting your flight item's charge. The ice block also emits a blue light and some light particles.

Trivia

 * The sprite of the Ice Rod is similar to that of The Breaker.
 * It also appeared as a required item in The Legend of Zelda a Link to the Past.
 * The "ice" that is created by the Ice rod has a similar, if not the same, texture with Glass.

Bugs and Glitches

 * If you use the Ice Rod on a server, you may be kicked for placing impossible to place blocks.
 * If you place a chest with an item in it on an Ice Block and mine it with a drill, it will duplicate.
 * If you target a tree with the Ice Rod, then the tree will break. The Ice Block formed where the tree was will also not dissipate normally.
 * In the Console Version, if you use an Ice Rod on a chest (Shadow, Gold, etc.), then that chest will duplicate.   Also doing so replaces one of the blocks grid squares with ice, if all four four chest grid squares are dissapated then the chest will go invisible and you will not be able to get it back or place a new on in that spot.
 * Strangely on console version, placing an ice block on a Shadow Orb, it will break. If done with a Demon Alter, not on Hard mode, the Demon Alter will destroy with not blessings, or death.
