Biomes & Nature new trap ice spikes

vessal

Skeletron Prime
a lot of biomes have gotten there own traps. like the underground deserts rolling cacti or the dungeon cracked dungeon bricks. but not the underground ice biome witch has been neglected for nearly a decade at this point and needs something new.
what is ice spikes
so i propose ice spikes these things can either be on the flooring or ceiling and have two different functionality when on different types of grounds. of the floor they act like lesser spiles increasing fall damage by 80% and freezing the player for 1 second. also they ignore anything that reduces fall damage besides feather falling potions.
on the roof they can be activated by the new icy pressure plate that comes with this suggestion. when stepped on the ice spike will fall on the terrarians head dealing 100-200-300 damage and inflicting expert only frost burn for 3-5-6 seconds on getfixed boi freezing the player for 2-4-6 seconds and chill for 10-20-30 seconds. also they appear 2-5 blocks tall naturally
obtainment
mining the ice spikes gives you them so you can troll your friends as after all what is a trap without trolling your friends with them the same with ice pressure plates. but watch out mining them on the celling will cause them to fall down before you can collect them. or you could craft the ice pressure plate with just 10 ice blocks at a ice machine. the crafting recipe is 8 ice at a ice machine.
counters
they have some easy counters. first feather falling potion will negate the ground ones. warmth potion will grant immunity to the frost burn and the freeze they give. yes warmth would be buffed to be more useful.the buff would be more useful for pvp witch would be the main point. ice skates and its upgrades will completely prevent the trap from ever doing any harm

These seem more intense than they need to be. I feel like these would be better if they acted like the spikes in Starbound; hazard blocks that can technically be moved through like furniture, but they still cause damage and knockback.
