Frost tome freeze chance?
So the idea behind this tome is to get increased damage against frozen targets. Check.
You get the white witch which can freeze targets but doesn't get the frost weapon or ice arrow buff so it really is only a support unit.
You get ONE spell to freeze stuff.

So tell me, how on earth am I supposed to make use of this?
An army of 6 units (early game) with hero, 2 witches, 2 strike units and a archer seems good but doesn't work for the freeze often is to stall enemies rather then to burst them.

So now my question is: Does the frost damage on weapons (and fire, etc.) come with a base chance to freeze? If so, where can I see that and how high is it?

No. Frost enchants don't have a Freeze chance. If they did they would be very OP since Freeze is a stun.

The witches, spell, and ice elementals all freeze things. IIRC if they fail to freeze they Slow.

Note that the enchants provide bonus damage against not just Frozen things, but Slowed things.

Edit: There's a building in the Tome of the Frozen Dark that grants all units that visit a 30% freeze chance on physical attacks for one battle. Not something you can have for every fight but useful for tough ones.

Depends on the enchantment, for example the fire melee damage one increases damage against burning while the fire ranged damage one gives a chance to inflict burning.
