I can confirm the "icy blast" animation problem (it's played way too fast so it's nearly invisible). I summoned an ogre magus to Terinyo and the water froze correctly while he targeted me, so maybe the problem is related to the location!?

In previous releases of the game Ogre Magi would be able to freeze the water in the ToTHK, so it's either a location-related problem, or TB deliberately disabled it on that level for some reason. Are Ogre Magi still able to freeze multiple squares of water with a single blast? If that got changed/fixed, it might be related...

Yes, that is still happening.

The character who observed this also had the "cold blood" corruption, and was down to speed 10 at the time. Well, something to keep an eye on I guess.

can we fix the bug where white dragon breath doesn't freeze properly?

I'll just chime in to say that yesterday I did the piranha lake on 1.2.0p9 with an ogre magus, and he froze the water as usual (although with no visible animation). So if they really no longer freeze water, it must be a p10-specific bug.

Hang on.. behind you? If a cold blast hits you it doesn't travel further (they're not like breath attacks). The blast has to pass over the lake before it hits you to freeze water.

I don't remember having to do that in earlier versions, but I've only tried to get an ogre magus to make a bridge for me once or twice in the past.

So normally, you have to get on the other side of the lake from the OM, and hope he blasts a bridge across trying to reach you?

Yes. Or rather, get a few squares of water between you and the magus, and make him start "cutting corners" with its bolt, until the lake is smaller and then you can do that.

'Cool'!

OK, I withdraw the bug. Thanks everyone.

Closed as "fixed" because the ice blast animation was corrected.
