Icestorm is basically the Monster equivalent of the Blizzard Spell, roughly equal to that Spell cast by a Character with 40–50 intelligence. Since Monsters get no stat bonuses to Spells, their Abilities deal more damage and are more accurate than Spells. Icestorm is most often used to simulate a breath attack of some kind.
