* If a [[block|dirt block]] is [[Item Bestowal|bestowed]] [[fire boots]] and then [[transmogrifier|transformed]], the resulting ice block will not melt in [[flame jet]]s or convert fire to water. If it is bestowed [[flippers]], it will not convert water to ice. | |||
* Ice blocks can remove some [[acting dirt]] in addition to dirt itself, like fake [[blue wall]]s and [[socket]]s (only if the chip count is zero for the latter). More precisely, they will only remove [[terrain]] acting dirt and will not pick up [[static object]]s, even blue [[key]]s. | |||
