The SendingStone review

The spell "Cone of Cold" has been described as a powerful choice for sorcerers and wizards alike. Its casting time is quick and it deals a whopping 8d8 cold damage to enemies within a cone-shaped area. It also has the added benefit of being an instantaneous spell, meaning the damage is done immediately and doesn't require any additional effort from the caster. While it does require verbal and somatic components, it is not too expensive in terms of material components. Overall, "Cone of Cold" is a formidable offensive spell that can be a valuable asset in combat situations.
