Description

You breathe a gust of freezing wind from your mouth, covering a pretty wide area with hindering chill.

Effects

Each creature in the chosen area must make a Reflex Save. A creature takes 2d8 ⤴ cold damage on a failed save. On critical failure, they also take Burning damage equal to the damage dealt, and their Movement is halved at the start of their next turn.

The area lingers with frigid cold for 1d8 rounds (ends at end-of-turn), though you can dismiss it before then. Creatures in the area must repeat the save if they failed, taking the damage and effects again on relevant saves.

Failure: Creature(s) takes the listed damage.
