Effect

What Frostfire Ember does

Frost Nova hits may erupt in flame for 80% damage.

Frostfire Ember is a legendary chest item that raises Frostfire Ember for Frost Nova only. It lasts for the rest of the run. One copy is all it needs; extra copies do nothing.

Source

How to get Frostfire Ember

Chest items drop from treasure chests out in the wilds — spend gold to open one, and each chest costs more than the last. Rarer items are rarer drops, so Luck (from Fortune or the Censer) makes a legendary pull more likely. On every floor’s plaza the Wishing Well grants the exact item you name once per floor: the surest way to complete a build around Frostfire Ember.

Skill

Frostfire Ember and Frost Nova

Frost Nova

An icy ring damages foes and can freeze them solid.

Without Frost Nova in your build this item does nothing, so take the skill first and wish for the item once the skill is upgraded.
