Ice Spikes is a Black Magic spell in Final Fantasy XI, cast on oneself to punish enemies that may try to damage you. The spikes do an amount of damage contingent upon the caster's Enhancing Magic ability and the target's resistance to the Ice element. Generally, this spell will not do more than 15 damage per hit at level 75, and starts out much weaker than that. Ice spikes have a chance of inflicting Paralysis on any creature that physically hits a target with this status active. Ice Spikes scrolls are dropped by certain ghost enemies.
