The ice bolt ability behaves like ordinary Ice Bolt spell. 2 damage for every 10  in possession, may freeze opponent's weapon. The Ice Bolt can bypass regular shields but can be reflected by spell-reflection shields.

Base damage of Blizzard Sword is 3 physical damage+2 Ice Bolt spell damage=5

A. 2 more base damage --> plus 2 cost

B. Blizzard sword deals partly spell damage --> plus 1 cost

Seems a bit like fahrenheit. Basically deal 6+ 2 for each 10 :water you own. Or, 6 + 1 for each 5 :water you own. Looks like you balanced it similarly to Fahrenheit. 6 quanta for a weapon seems excessive though.

I don't want to cut down the physical damage because I want this weapon to be a combination of physical and spell damage, not just focused on spell damage. As a result, I have to increase the cost for that.

Cost should not be more than 5 :water. Either lower the base damage a bit or something. You also have to factor in spell damage can be completely countered.

And there are more ways to completely counter the purely physical damage of fahrenheit. e.g. wings, dim shield, hax shield (with insane luck)....

If your spell damage is countered, you can also adjust your  :water level to reduce the damage dealt to yourself.

If this card is really too expensive, the only thing I can do is to lower the physical damage for a lower cost.

I love this idea. :water needs weapon love. It does cost a bit much though.

Considering it also has the potential to completely lock down your opponent's weapon, I feel it's fairly costed. Can anyone say why they feel it's overcosted?

i feel like don't have anyone said that 'just overcost'   

but they said it cost is 'to much' for 'weapon'.  so they said this card cost should be reduce with atk.

If it needs cost reduction, why not upgrade to a lower cost? I think it would be fine

So its basically a :water fahrenheit that may freeze the enemy's weapon... sounds fun to me. Though in light of the potential freeze effect it should probably do slightly less damage than fahrenheit.
Whether the glass is half full or half empty is a moot point. It is always filled to the brim. It is only a matter of by what. The real question is: What fills you?
