I won\'t presume to speak for the devs, but I would guess that something of this sort is already planned. We have \"frosty\" weapons, so it\'s not too much of a leap to thing that these would do some sort of \"cold\" damage at some point. Right now, they just do more damage that a \"normal\" weapon would, but there is no reason to think this won\'t be expanded on in the future.
Remember, the game you are currently playing is version 0.3. The magic system is still in its infancy, and the combat system isn\'t all that much more developed at this point.
This is not to say that you shouldn\'t state your ideas here, just that many of the ideas people post are already in the \"planning\" stage somewhere. Now, whether or not any particular idea actually gets implemented, and what order things get done, is another question entirely. I like to think that the things said in these forums do contribute in some way to the decision making process.
