Frozen Orb is a Sorcerer skill from the Core skill tree. Its features are:

Grants Player Exploits Condition
Cold Dmg N/A
Chills (CC)
Vulnerable
+ Mana
Core
Frost

'Creates Condition' means this skill creates this condition i.e it could make a target Vulnerable that other skills can take advantage of. 'Exploits Condition' means this skill takes advantage of a condition, not necessarily of its own making. So for example another skill might Stun and this skill could take advantage of that.
