==== Ice Shards ====

Ice Shards is an enchantment that increases Frost damage dealt by the Staff of Frost by a hidden factor or formula, which can be adjusted for balance as needed.

=== Enchantment Ranges ===
  * **Gear Enchantment:**
    * Standard gear: Ice Shards ranges from **10 to 20**.
    * Legendary gear: Ice Shards ranges from **15 to 25**.

=== Maximum Values ===
  * The maximum possible Ice Shards on all gear combined is **150**.

=== Damage Calculation ===
The total Ice Shards value from all equipped gear pieces (weapon and armor) is used when calculating the final Frost damage output.

**Note:** For the effect from armor to apply, the weapon must be enchanted with any type of enchantment.
