A Potion of Frost is a type of potion in Remixed Dungeon that creates a freezing effect when exposed to air.

==== Effect ====
When shattered, the potion creates a freezing cloud that affects all creatures within 2 tiles of the impact point:
  * **Freeze:** Creatures are frozen in place, unable to move or act
  * **Area of Effect:** The freezing cloud affects all creatures within 2 tiles of the impact point
  * **Duration:** Creatures remain frozen until the effect wears off or is cleared
  * **Mechanism:** Uses [[en:rpd:freezing|Freezing]] blob to apply the freeze effect

==== Properties ====
  * **Rarity:** Common
  * **Weight:** 1
  * **Price:** 50 gold coins (base price)
  * **Identification:** One use to identify (shatter to learn effect)
  * **Type:** Throwable Potion
  * **Upgrade Class:** UpgradablePotion
  * **Effect Radius:** (int)(DISTANCE * qualityFactor()) where DISTANCE is 2

==== Mechanics ====
  * When shattered at any location, creates an area of effect based on distance map
  * Uses PathFinder.buildDistanceMap to calculate affected area
  * Affects all cells within the calculated distance map
  * Freezing effect is applied to each affected tile using Freezing.affect()
  * According to string resources: "Upon exposure to open air, this chemical will evaporate into a freezing cloud, causing any creature that contacts it to be frozen in place, unable to act and move."

==== Function ====
  * **Shatter:** When thrown at a target or ground, creates the freezing effect cloud
  * **Arrow Moistening:** Can be used to moisten arrows, turning them into [[en:rpd:frost_arrow_item|Frost Arrows]]

  * **Environmental interaction:** Can extinguish fires on impact

==== Strategy ====
  * Use to temporarily disable dangerous enemies during combat
  * Particularly effective on single powerful enemies that are difficult to fight
  * Can be used to create temporary breathing room during difficult encounters
  * Be careful not to freeze yourself or important allies
  * Useful for crowd control when facing multiple enemies
  * Excellent for crowd control in corridors and enclosed spaces
  * Effective against fire-based enemies for extra damage
  * Can be used to interrupt enemy casting or special abilities
  * Combine with other crowd control items for maximum effect
  * Invaluable for creating Frost Arrows through the moistening process
