The DM may rule that environmental factors increase or decrease this rate. Each 5 foot square section of ice has AC 10, 20 hit points, and a vulnerability to fire damage. Reducing a frozen section to 0 hit points destroys it. Creations made of True Ice are magically durable. They do not melt, and their section have AC 20 and 40 hit points.
