Spell Effects & Mechanics
- This spell can be used to immobilize one arm, leg, wing, tail or tentacle. The limb cannot be used for 30 seconds. The ice cast can be broken with a +3 or greater Strength Bonus, Non-Combinable and takes 5 seconds. If the target character is immune to the Pin spell due to their Strength Bonus, they are immune to this spell as well. The caster should state what limb is affected when they cast the spell, “By the North Mist I Form an Ice Cast… right arm,” but the name of the limb is not part of the spell verbal. If the caster does not specify which limb is being frozen, the target character must choose a limb to be immobilized.
- While the limb is encased in ice, any blow on that limb will affect the character normally, leaving the ice cast unharmed. For example, a Stunning Blow to the limb will not shatter the ice cast, but this will incapacitate the limb as per a normal Stunning Blow. The ice itself is magical and therefore a Dispel Magic will remove the Ice Cast spell.
- The ice from this spell sublimates when removed or the spell ends.
