Ice Barrier is a mage spell that shields the caster for up to 60 seconds, absorbing damage similar to a priest's 
[Power Word: Shield] spell. The shield absorbs physical, magical, and most environmental damage (fall damage is not absorbed.) Damage from DoTs such as poison is also absorbed. The total amount the shield can absorb is increased by 80.67% of the caster's frost spell damage.
While shielded, spells do not lose casting time due to push-back interruption. However, debuffs such as snares, 
[Counterspell], and 
[Silence] still pass through.
Ice Barrier stacks with the mage spells 
[Mana Shield], 
[Fire Ward], and 
[Frost Ward], as well as other damage shield spells such as [Power Word: Shield].
| Rank | Mana Cost | Damage Absorbed | Level | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| 2 | 30% Base | 549 | 46 | 17 0
|
| 3 | 30% Base | 678 | 52 | 19 0

| 4 | 30% Base | 818 | 58 | 21 0

| 5 | 30% Base | 925 | 64 | 25 0

- Minimum level to acquire the talent.
Calculation
Amount Absorbed = Base Absorb + (Frost Spell Dmg * .8067)
Ice Barrier can be enhanced by 
[Glyph of Ice Barrier], increasing damage absorbed by 30%. With this glyph, the calculation is
Amount Absorbed = (Base Absorb + (Frost Spell Dmg * .8067)) * 1.3
