It might mean that or it could also just have been the name of the skill. Two posts above yours the skill soothing cold is posted. Despite the 'pretty big clue' in its name, it doesn't cause a chill effect. There are probably dozens of skill names like these in the game. To be clear: there's nothing wrong with the name of a skill not exactly representing what the skill does. The point is that the actual description of what the skill does, does not mention an area of effect and isn't entirely consistent with descriptions of other skills. That could be improved in my opinion.
