People not completely understanding the Ice/Fire Demon's side effects is why they're so readily discounted as useless. If you think of them straight up as an attack they seem silly when you have all your other attacks, but their real power is in the way they default an effected mob to a clean attribute template, making them entirely neutral and then applying a suceptible-to. That's a double whammy.
A practical example: first hit of ID on a NightShadow will do 1 damage, because it's ice immune at that point, then turn it blue. Once it goes blue and until that blue wears off, it's experiencing a poison-like side effect and has no elemental attributes except weak to fire, so 2nd ID hitting it does full neutral damage because it's no longer got any immunities.
Since it has an incredibly fast cast speed and does it's damage in equal proportions to all six mobs it hits, it's actually better than chain lightning for many mobbing scenarios.
It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.
