A '''snowball stick''' launches a cold explosion over its endpoint and the eight surrounding squares. Its name does not mean that it is harmless: the same blast can damage the user.<ref>{{Source|iinit.h|374}}; {{Source|itemf3.c|684|696}}; {{Source|effect1.c|364|368}}.</ref><br />

== Generation ==<br />
It is an item-level-2 [[Draft:Wands#Generation|random wand]], normally with 1&ndash;20 charges, random blessing and +0 enchantment. Random loot, [[Draft:Knight's Pawn Shop|pawn-shop stock]] and [[Draft:Scroll of acquirement|acquirement]] can supply it.<ref>{{Source|item.c|7|41}}; {{Source|item.c|254|262}}; {{Source|site1.c|1043|1052}}; {{Source|effect1.c|699|705}}.</ref><br />
<br />
[[Draft:Ambrosias' Potions et cie|Ambrosias]] transforms a [[Draft:Lesser frost demon|lesser frost demon's heart]] into a blessed +3 snowball stick with 20 charges for normally '''100 Au'''. The demon does not therefore carry the stick as fixed loot, and the +3 does not increase its damage.<ref>{{Source|minit.h|101}}; {{Source|site1.c|845|869}}; {{Source|itemf3.c|684|696}}.</ref><br />

== Description ==<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
! Property !! Rule<br />
|-<br />
| Area || Endpoint and eight adjacent squares<br />
|-<br />
| Damage || Independent random 0&ndash;19 cold damage per affected creature or player<br />
|-<br />
| Defense || No hit roll; cold immunity applies, but bolt deflection does not<br />
|-<br />
| Positive blessing or enchantment || No increase in area or damage<br />
|-<br />
| Curse || Centers the blast on the player<br />

The projectile can be stopped early by a creature or other obstruction. The explosion then affects its nine-square area without a separate path test to each surrounding square. Unlike fire explosions, it does not vaporize water; unlike fire and electricity, it does not destroy ordinary hedges. This effect also has no freezing-water transformation.<ref>{{Source|effect1.c|378|453}}; {{Source|util.c|73|85}}; {{Source|util.c|206|268}}.</ref><br />
<br />
One charge is spent and the type revealed before targeting. A cursed copy forces self-targeting afterward, including after Escape at the aiming prompt. Use the [[Draft:Wands#Using wands|earlier item-selection cancellation]] when abandoning an activation.<ref>{{Source|itemf3.c|684|696}}; {{Source|command2.c|459|488}}; {{Source|aux1.c|532|558}}.</ref><br />
<br />
== Strategy ==<br />
The lesser-frost-demon recipe gives a comparatively inexpensive supply of area attacks. Use cold against susceptible enemies while keeping the endpoint and likely interceptors more than one square away from yourself. Its damage is modest, so a group of weak enemies is usually a better use than a single healthy, high-HP target.<br />
<br />
The ingredient's original creature is cold-immune: a snowball stick is not an answer to more frost demons. Consider fire or electricity where their immunity lists permit it. Raising enchantment adds recharge opportunities and explosion risk, not a stronger snowball.<ref>{{Source|minit.h|101}}; {{Source|minit.h|171}}; {{Source|minit.h|257}}; {{Source|effect1.c|84|104}}.</ref><br />
