Tried to find a list but have had bad luck. Making a frost mage charecter and want to have a healthy supply of spells with the cold discriptor. Currently level 4 but having trouble finding spells.

Might I suggest frostburn? It has a healthy dose of [cold] spells, plus the infamous ice assasssin.

First comment: between Snowcasting and Energy Substitution, basically any elemental spell can be Cold.

That being said, I like:
- Obscuring Snow, Frostburn, level 2
- Blood Snow, Frostburn, level 3
- Control Temperature, Frostburn (notice a pattern?), level 3
- Blinding Snow, Frostburn, level 3
- Heartfreeze, Frostburn, level 5 (it's not that great as far as Save-or-Dies go, but I like it anyway)
- Ice Claw, Spell Compendium, level 7
- Frostfell, Frostburn, level 9
- Field of Icy Razors, Spell Compendium, level 8
- Iceberg, Frostburn, level 9 (because dropping a gigantic iceberg on enemies is totally worth a level 9 slot)

the infamous ice assasssin.

Not to drag things off-topic, but I'm seeing this everywhere lately, and the general idea I get as to what it is is basically a Mirror of Opposition-lite and that it can mimic deities. I thought that deific entities were unreplicable by mortal magic (though don't ask me to reproduce the clause, I can't remember its location), so how does this work?

It's a more advance form of the Simulacrum (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/simulacrum.htm) spell (one I suggest). It literally makes a copy of the target (with the targets abilities and stats) out of shadow material and ice. The copy is compelled to hunt down and kill the original.

Since gods are just creatures, they are able to be replicated by Ice Assassin, provided you have a sample of them... which comes standard with every component pouch or can be ignored with Eschew Material.
