Posted Oct 14, 2024What do you mean? Ice Knife has the same description, word for word, as the 2014 version, excluding the description of upcasting.

Posted Apr 4, 2025Still my favorite response to someone trying to shut down my casting with a Silence spell. No verbal component, fool!

Posted Jul 13, 2025Speaking of Silence, it's funny that the Cleric doesn't have any non-Verbal spells to cast on its own Silence spell. I imagine most Clerics with Magic Initiate (Wizard) will want Find Familiar, but I think taking Ice Knife in anticipation of Silence spells isn't a bad choice either. Plus, if you shoot an enemy caster with Ice Knife, they could take two separate instances of damage, potentially breaking their Concentration.
