'''Ozocubu's Refrigeration''' ('''OR''' for short) is a level 7 [[Ice Magic]] spell which deals cold damage to all targets in [[line of sight]]. This ignores [[EV]] and has a 50% chance of [[slow]]ing [[cold blooded]] targets.

However, for each monster hurt by this spell, the damage is reduced for every creature (except for monsters allied to the caster) that is directly adjacent to said monster:<ref>{{source ref|0.34.1|spl-damage.cc|651}}</ref>
*One adjacent creature to target: 70% damage
*Two or more adjacent creatures to target: 40% damage

==Strategy==
This spell is a room-wide spell that is also decent at taking down single targets. It has full range and never misses, which are useful traits for any spell.

Against a large, widely spaced group, you'll be doing about 30 damage to every monster in your line of sight. Teleported inside Elf:3's final vault? 4 OR casts later, it is mostly empty. A room full of [[boggart]]s? Easy. The adjacent creature penalty is harsh, but multiple casts will kill the weaker creatures.

===Tips & Tricks===
*Casting Ozocubu's Refrigeration in quick succession takes a lot of MP. You may want to keep up the pressure with the aid of [[potions of magic]], MP restoration on kills from [[The Shining One]] or [[Vehumet]], or [[Sif Muna]]'s Channel Magic.
*This spell will hurt your [[allies]] if they aren't immune to cold.
**Note that [[lightning spire]]s, [[spellforged servitor]]s, and derived undead ([[zombie]]s, [[spectral thing]]s, [[simulacra]]) will not be dismissed when attacked.
*A way to move adjacent monsters away from you is helpful; spells like [[Splinterfrost Shell]] and [[Iskenderun's Mystic Blast]] make sure that you don't penalize Refrigeration's damage.
*This spell has an ironic synergy with a [[scroll of immolation]], which helps mitigate this spell's "adjacent enemies" penalty. The [[Inner Flame|inner flame]] enchantment creates a flame [[cloud]] on every enemy you hit. This increases damage output, allowing OR to deal more against a clump of enemies, Then, once you kill an enemy, the immolation will start a chain reaction, wiping out the rest of the pack.

==Quality of Life improvements==
The screen will flash blue every time you cast OR. Over time, that may seriously reduce the joy of using this spell. Fortunately, there is a setting you can add to your .rc file that will block all player animations (not just of OR...):

<code>use_animations -= player</code>

==Monster Version==
The version of the spell used by monsters functions similarly, but players receive less benefit from having adjacent allies:
*One adjacent ally: 85% damage
*Two adjacent allies: 75% damage

The player's allies still receive regular benefit from adjacency.

==History==
*Prior to [[0.34]], players took less damage from enemy Refrigeration when adjacent to allies (the adjacency penalty was identical to monsters: 70% for 1 ally, 40% for 2).
*Prior to [[0.33]], allies counted for the adjacent creatures penalty.
*Prior to [[0.30]], Ozocubu's Refrigeration had harsher penalties for adjacent targets; it was reduced to 66% with 1 adjacent target, and 33% with 2.
*Prior to [[0.29]], Ozocubu's Refrigeration did not have a penalty when creatures were adjacent to each other, but prevented the player from drinking potions for 7-15 turns. It also dealt less damage (<code>4d(5 + power/10)</code>), but did not check [[AC]].
*Prior to [[0.27]], Ozocubu's Refrigeration was a level 6 spell.
*Prior to [[0.25]], Ozocubu's Refrigeration dealt 25% less damage on-average and would also harm the caster.
*Prior to [[0.15]], this spell would not temporarily disable potions, but did have a tendency to [[item destruction|destroy]] them.
*Prior to [[0.14]], Ozocubu's Refrigeration did not anger allies and did not wake up [[sleep]]ing monsters.
