The Frost Wand is the staff of the Frostologer and is used as its primary weapon.

The Frost Wand can be obtained from crafting a Glacial Heart with two Frozen Rods and two Icicles.

The Frost Wand can be repaired using a Frozen Rod.

Crafting a Frost Wand

The Frost Wand has a base attack damage of 6 and an attack speed of 1.1, making it a decent primary weapon.

Holding right-click with the wand in either your main or off-hand will begin charging a spell. After at least 10 ticks (0.5s), releasing the wand will cast a Frost Spell that will travel some distance before exploding. If the spell collides with any blocks or entities before reaching its maximum range, it will explode early.

The 'explosion' created by the spell is not a standard explosion, however. Any entities caught in it (except for the caster) will be frozen in a block of ice that roots them in place and prevents them from being able to move that lasts for 5 seconds. However, if the entity is damaged while rooted, the root will break and deal damage. The amount of damage dealt by the root break can be increased with the Ice Breaker enchantment. The Frost Wand has a cooldown of 6 seconds. If this root broken using the Frost Wand, the Frost Wand's cooldown is reset.

The Frostologer, Vex, and other Freeze Immune entity types are immune to this root effect.

The Frost Wand appears as a 2D sprite when in the GUI, when dropped as an item, and in item frames. When held by players (and entities), it appears with a 3D model. This is similar to Tridents and Spyglasses.
