First i just want to say that I LOVE this book. However, as the subject line suggest, this spell just doesn't seem balanced. I'm not "trolling". I'm asking a serious question. This spell seems identical to Cone of Cold except:
Break Down:
Cone of Cold - 5th level spell, Wis/Sorc
Cold Ice Strike - 6ht level spell, Clr/Wis/Sorc, swift action
How is that balanced? That is equivalent to a Quicken Spell Metamagic (Feat mind you) for only one spell level higher that would normally take a 9th level spell slot to do (and spend a feat/have a rod).
I do want to know why this spell was made and what the thought process behind this is. Is there something I am not seeing here? I simply cannot allow this spell in my games until I see a reason for it being balanced.
We have been told that this spell (along with terrible remorse) are in the errata phase.
I had assumed that this would be given a component cost to balance, but does anyone else find it extremely odd that clerics get this spell at the same level as wiz/sorc?
Clerics usually get blast spells at higher caster levels than wiz/sorc. I wonder if they will change that, too.

It originally started out as a Monk power and got turned into a spell. Simply returning it to Quigon monk only should fix it.

Well, that makes more sense. The name even sounds monk-ish.
