Encyclopedia

Once in a thousand years a confluence of hurricanes can result in an uber-storm. The mammoth downdraft so generated can bring super-chilled air down from the stratosphere. Unwitting ground creatures can find the ambient air temperature dropping a hundred degrees within seconds, flash freezing them into grisly popsicles.

The Living Frost spell seeks to mimic these horrific effects with mundane magic. Early experiments with flash freezing found a freaky phenomenon. At sufficiently low temperatures, the air seemed to acquire a malignant intelligence of its own!

It was the renowned summoner Kratsbury who first added a simple compulsion cantrip to the frozen air spell, thus creating the first documented wizard-controlled Living Frost.

Description

Requires no target. If there is an open tile adjacent to the caster, this spell will summon a tame Living Frost for you to control. This creature will last 8 rounds.

This spell can be combined with Blizzard for a much more impressive effect.
