Ice Barrier is a talented mage ability, available at level 30. It shields the caster for up to 60 seconds, absorbing damage similarly to a priest's 
[Power Word: Shield]. The shield absorbs physical, magical, and most environmental damage (fall damage is not absorbed). Damage from DoTs such as poison is also absorbed. The total amount the shield can absorb is increased by 440% of the caster's frost spell power.
While shielded, spells do not lose casting time due to push-back interruption. However debuffs such as snares, counterspell, and 
[Silence] still pass through.
Ice Barrier stacks with other damage shield spells such as [Power Word: Shield].
Calculation
Amount Absorbed = Base Absorb + (Spell Power * 4.44)
Patch changes
Patch 5.0.4 (2012-08-28): Now available to all specializations as a talent. Cooldown reduced from 30 to 25 sec. - Patch 4.1.0 (2011-04-26): Base damage value has been increased by approximately 120%. In addition, the benefit from spell power has been increased by approximately 8%.
- Patch 4.0.1 (2010-10-12): No longer has
[Cold Snap] as a prerequisite. - Patch 2.3.2 (2008-01-08): The talent, [Ice Block], required to obtain Ice Barrier was removed from the Frost (talent tree), moving [Cold Snap] up in its place to make room for a new talent, [Icy Veins].
- Patch 2.3.0 (2007-11-13): Ice Barrier will gain an additional benefit from frost spell damage gear, however the base amount of damage absorbed for ranks 5 and 6 has been lowered.
- Patch 2.1.0 (2007-05-22): Ice Barrier Rank 6 was added.
- Patch 1.11.0 (2006-06-19): Ice Barrier received an overhaul in the 1.11 mage talent review. The spell was changed to stack with [Power Word: Shield] (which previously overwrote it), had its cooldown reduced from 2 minutes to 30 seconds, gained the benefit of frost spell damage, and was prioritized to absorb damage before [Mana Shield], thus saving mana when using both shields.
