Frostbolt ice nova battlemage seems like a really fun direction to take the new ascendancy, but there seem to be a lot of limiting factors on it in either the 2h or wander varieties.

2H - this seems best as a pure ice nova build, since pledge of hands is very nice, but cwc cyclone seems unappealing since cwc can be awkward with charging fanaticism. Snap casting cyclone every second seems very tedious.

Wand - this seems appealing to me, since it gives easy access to frenzy or power charges and spellslinger will be much smoother with gaining fanaticism stacks. However, you miss pledge of hands damage scaling which traditionally ice nova seems to require.

Ultimately, I figured that spellslinger would be the better option for a starter, but I feel like my tree is far from optimization.

What are your thoughts on how to best make this build work?
