The SendingStone review

Ray of Frost, a cantrip available to Sorcerers and Wizards, deals a small amount of cold damage (1d8) to a target up to 60 feet away. While it may not be the strongest spell in a caster's arsenal, it does offer some strategic benefits, such as slowing down an enemy's movement speed by 10 feet until their next turn. The ability to deal ranged damage without expending higher level spell slots can also be useful in certain situations. Overall, Ray of Frost may not be the flashiest or most powerful spell, but it can be a useful tool for casters to have in their repertoire.
