All shard physical damage is converted to cold. Modifiers to projectile speed affect distance traveled by the secondary shard projectiles. The shards spray towards other targets within a 90-degree "cone" (a quadrant) behind the primary target. When using Ice Shot with split, pierce, fork, or chain, targets behind the first may be hit by both the secondary shards and a primary arrow.
