Description

You invoke passages from the Tome of Winter, rolling a small crystal sphere over and through your fingers with absent skill. As you speak, the area you have chosen, to which you have line of sight and line of effect, seems to fall into a freezing twilight. The light grows blue, all surfaces shimmer with frost, and the air grows razor sharp with the bite of cold. The border of this area is sharply outlined, a vast sphere within which, Dark Night reigns.

Freezing Sphere flash-freezes everything wholly or partially in a location you select, dealing (Circle 6 damage): 1d6+2 points of damage per character level (max 16d6+32 at character level 16) of cold (energy, common) damage. Creature are allowed a saving throw as described above for half damage.

If the Freezing Sphere contains wholly or partly a body of water or a liquid that is principally water (not including water-based creatures), it freezes the liquid to a depth of 6 inches in all squares within the effect. This will allow the use of Walk on the ice for as long as it persists. This ice lasts until the end of the caster's next encounter. Attempts to melt it earlier are left to the GM to adjudicate. Creatures that were swimming on the surface of a targeted body of water become trapped in the ice. Attempting to break free is a full-round action. A trapped creature must make a Maneuver Offense roll against the casters Maneuver Defense in order to break free.

-| Description = ''Freezing Sphere'' creates a frigid globe of cold energy that streaks from your fingertips to the location you select, where it explodes in a 40-foot-radius burst, dealing 1d6 points of [[Cold Damage]] per [[caster level]] (maximum 15d6) to each creature in the area. A creature of the [[water subtype]] instead takes 1d8 points of Cold Damage per caster level (maximum 15d8) and is [[hindered]] for 1d4 rounds.
+| Description = You invoke passages from the Tome of Winter, rolling a small crystal sphere over and through your fingers with absent skill.  As you speak, the area you have chosen, to which you have line of sight and line of effect, seems to fall into a freezing twilight. The light grows blue, all surfaces shimmer with frost, and the air grows razor sharp with the bite of cold. The border of this area is sharply outlined, a vast sphere within which, Dark Night reigns.
-: If the ''Freezing Sphere'' strikes a body of water or a liquid that is principally water (not including water-based creatures), it freezes the liquid to a depth of 6 inches in a 40-foot radius. This ice lasts for 1 round per caster level. Creatures that were swimming on the surface of a targeted body of water become trapped in the ice. Attempting to break free is a [[full-round action]]. A trapped creature must make a DC 25 [[Strength check]] or a DC 25 [[Escape Artist]] check to do so.
-: You can refrain from firing the globe after completing the spell, if you wish. Treat this as a touch spell for which you are holding the charge. You can hold the charge for as long as 1 round per level, at the end of which time the ''Freezing Sphere'' bursts centered on you (and you receive no [[saving throw]] to resist its effect). Firing the globe in a later round is a [[standard action]].
+: ''Freezing Sphere'' flash-freezes everything wholly or partially in a location you select, dealing {{circle|6}} of {{dmg|cold}} damage. Creature are allowed a saving throw as described above for half damage.
-:'''NOTE:''' This spell can be used to attempt to trap a ship in ice by targeting the water around the ship rather than the ship itself. the duration of the spell unless the pilot of the ship makes a DC 25 [[Piloting (Sailor)]] check to break free of the ice.
