2) MR does already seem to protect against it, or so it seemed to me when I tried it.
Are you sure you aren't just seeing the results of a good armour roll on the part of the targeted unit?

Forzen Heart is armor negating.

So I assume that is the devs intent, and wouldn't argue with it. Also, it seems correct, as it is a Water-1 spell, even if it is Alt-6, so otherwise it would be seem to me a really cheap automatic hit.
Well, it's not like water has anything else going for it on the battlefield, so that's really not that much of an issue.

Instant hit killing one (non-cold-resistant) human or comparable unit is not that frightening by the time one has level 6 spells. It is almost always two because you'll already have Quickness when you get Frozen Heart, but unless your enemy has all-undead armies lead by few living mages I don't think it will be automatic win.

This was written as if cold resistance worked against it, as I think it should. Frozen Heart already doesn't affect any inanimate targets, by the description. I think that means Statues and Golems, and might include elementals and the like. On the other hand, I think it *should* affect elemental royalties. Both thematically and by game mechanics.
