disregard previous "complaints"

To the Korax developers: several months ago, while first exploring the Korax mod, I posted a few comments about weapons strength, etc.; particularly the frost shards. Well, with more time to become accustomed to your mods, I retract those "complaints". After noticing that those shards eventually use no mana I found you can use a "machine gun" approach with them, effectively blanketing an area. Some have complained about your opponents being frozen in place briefly, and often (usually) in your way, but I found it a simple matter to switch to a wand, any wand, for one shot, then back to the shards. Also noticed that one hit from the shards will immediately stop those "Creature From the Black Lagoon" rejects wallowing in the slime. But why can't you freeze Heresiarchs or Korax? The shards will damage them,and (if you're in "fag" mode) eventually kill them; but they don't freeze. I assume no graphics option for a frozen Heresiarch?

More, as far as I know (from exploring the code) there's special flag for such monsters that makes them not being freezed, invulnerable to Chaos Device and some more.

It's because they're bosses - launching a porkalator or banishment device on them would ruin the challenge. Though maybe they should be able to freeze, we'll discuss this for the next full release.

As far as I'm aware there is no technical reason for not having them freeze, and if we had the sprites for it, it could be done. But it's not top of my to do list for KMod.

I like it the way it is implemented now, Heresiarch and Korax are both bosses, so they shouldn't freeze, if you want an explanation for it, think they have magic that avoids them to freeze, heh!
