Ice Barrage is the highest tier Ice spell from the Ancient Magicks spellbook, available at level 94 Magic. It is capable of hitting up to 30 damage (without any magic damage boosts) per cast.

Ice Barrage can freeze targets, causing them to become unable to move for 19.2 seconds (32 ticks). It is also able to target up to nine targets in a 3x3 grid around its primary target, just like all other burst and barrage spells.

As with all Ancient Magicks spells, the quest Desert Treasure must be completed to cast this spell.

The spell's accuracy rolls for each opponent individually against their magic defence, unlike chinchompas. However, if on a slayer task and you target a slayer monster (for example Tstanon Karlak on a greater demon task) your max hit will be considered on all targets as if all targets were your slayer task. This means that it is better to target your slayer task monster if given the choice between that and a non slayer monster. This also applies to Nechryael and their Dark Spawn.

Players often use this spell on multiple enemies (in a multicombat area) to train Magic because the spell has the potential to gain high amounts of XP per hour. It is also often used in player killing and in minigames such as the Castle Wars minigame due to the spell's effectiveness. It also gives more Hitpoints experience than red chinchompas.

Players can cast this spell with a Magic level of 90 with the use of a Magic potion, or with a Magic level of 85 with the use of an imbued heart or a Castlewars brew. Using a Castlewars brew to cast the spell will satisfy the Ardougne Diary elite task requirement for casting the spell within Castle Wars.
