History
Ice Block was initially released as a regular spell during V Rising's first expansion, Secrets of Gloomrot, on May 17th, 2023.
It had a cooldown of 12 s and the following effect:
| “ | Turn target ally or self into solid ice rendering them unable to move or act for 2.2 s. The ice shields for 280% of your spell power, grants immunity to crowd control effects and heals up to 8% of maximum health while active. The effect can be cancelled by interrupting it. | ” |
Ice Block's healing was shortly aftwards nerfed from 8% to 5% in Gloomrot Hotfix #9.
Then, in Update 1.0 it was reworked into its current iteration as an ultimate spell when it was combined with the former ultimate 
Frost Vortex. It had the following effect:
| “ | Conjure a frost storm that deals 100% magic damage and pulls enemies towards the center. The storm rages on for 6s, dealing 480% magic damage and inflicting Chill on all enemies. |
