Frost Nova is a recurring spell from Diablo II, performed by the Wizard.

When cast, it causes a flurry of ice to expel from the Wizard in all directions, dealing Ice damage. It has a 25% chance of striking a critical hit, and critical hits freeze enemies solid.

Although it has not been seen in a trailer yet, it was revealed at Blizzcon through screenshots. Like its Diablo II counterpart, it appears to be an effective crowd control spell, although it seems to deal more damage than before.
