Same as in Diablo. Shoots a ball of fire.

Inferno /Hell/ (= 6 =)

Blaze /Flame/ (= 12 =) [Inferno] 

Leaves a trail of fire behind the sorceress, which is a smaller version of the wall of fire.

Fireball /Ball Lightning/ (= 12 =) [Fire Bolt] 

An improved Fire Bolt that explodes upon contact with the victim.

Firewall /Wall of Fire/ (= 18 =) [Inferno, Blaze] 

A wall of fire, identical to the spell from the first part.

Ability to imbue a weapon with fire damage.

Meteor /Meteor/ (= 24 =) [Fire Bolt, Inferno, Blaze, Fire Wall, Fireball] 

A meteorite falls from the sky, which copes well with dense groups of monsters.

Fire Mastery /Fire Mastery/ (= 30 =) 

Increases damage from fire spells.

Hydra /Hydra/ (= 30 =) [Fire Bolt, Warmth, Fireball, Enchant] 

Similar to the guardian spell from Diablo I. A multi-headed monster emerges from the ground and spits balls of fire at surrounding enemies.

 

Ice Spells

Ice Bolt /Ice Arrow/ (= 1 =) 

Shooting ice arrows.

Frozen Armor /Frozen Armor/ (= 1 =) 

Increases your armor by covering it with a layer of ice.

Frost Nova /Frost Flash/ (= 6 =) 

A ring of icy vortex spreads from the sorceress, freezing surrounding enemies.

Ice Blast /Icy Blast/ (= 6 =) [Ice Bolt] 

Similar to Ice Bolt, except the ice balls explode upon impact. This can also hit nearby enemies.

Shiver Armor /Splinter Armor/ (= 12 =) [Frozen Armor, Ice Bolt, Ice Blast] 

In addition to increasing defense, it deals damage to enemies in melee combat.

Glacial Spike /Ice Icicle/ (= 18 =) [Ice Bolt, Ice Blast] 

Releases an ice icicle that hits monsters.

Blizzard /Blizzard/ (= 24 =) [Ice Bolt, Ice Blast, Frost Nova, Glacial Spike] 

Summons an ice storm that rains cold death upon enemies. This is a favorite of the Fallen Priests who hang out in Kurast.

Chilling Armor /Cold Armor/ (= 24 =) [Frozen Armor, Ice Bolt, Ice Blast, Shiver Armor] 

In addition to increasing defense, it shoots an Ice Bolt at shooters attacking you.

Frozen Orb /Frozen Sphere/ (= 30 =) [Ice Bolt, Ice Blast, Frost Nova, Glacial Spike, Blizzard] 

A sphere appears, shooting Ice Bolts in all directions (bolts without nuts are money down the drain).

Cold Mastery (= 30 =) 

Your enemies' resistance to cold is reduced. The new resistance value is calculated using the following formula: 

resistance - resistance * skill value. 

Let's say you have skill level 2, which corresponds to a value of 0.34, and the monster's resistance value is 50%, then the new value will be: 

50% - 50% * 0.34 = 33%.

Charged Bolt /Charged Clot/ (= 1 =) 

Lightning bolts scatter in different directions from you, reflecting off the walls.

Reminiscent of the Mana Shield spell from the first part. Some of the damage takes away mana instead of life.

Lightning Mastery /Lightning Mastery/ (= 30 =) 

Reduces the cost of all lightning spells.
