Inheritance of Frost
While bound to Elozahr, you know the ray of frost cantrip. Additionally, you can add your Charisma modifier to damage rolls you make with spells that deal cold damage.
Crystalline Arcana
When you cast a spell that affects an area and requires your concentration, you can choose a number of Medium or smaller creatures equal to your Charisma modifier to be protected from its effects. A 5-foot cube gap in the spell effects opens around each chosen creature. These creatures don’t need to make saving throws against the spell. Additionally, for the spell’s duration, these creatures are immune to the effects of the spell within its area and ignore conditions, such as difficult terrain, created by
the spell.
Spellcasting: Cryomancy
While bound to Elozahr, you can cast the following spells, without expending a spell slot or material components:
2/day each: sleet storm
1/day each: ice storm, cone of cold
You regain all expended uses of these spells when you finish a long rest.
Trait: Hoarfrost
While bound to Elozahr, your skin, as well as your clothing, weapons, and armor, are covered with a thick frost, and your breath is visible, as if on a cold night. Whenever you begin concentrating on a spell, this frost grows into large ice crystals on your skin. As long as you maintain concentration, whenever you take damage, you can subtract the spell's level from the damage you take. Fire damage ignores the effects of this feature.
Elozahr, the legendary founder of the Evocation school of magic, grants his binders frigid arcana and his steely concentration.
Legend
All wizards know the story of Evocatia and Elozahr, the ill-fated mages that founded the School of Evocation. In the days before the schools of magic, the rules of arcana were fluid, and only those of patient countenance and forceful will could tame arcana. With
time, the cleverest spellcasters learned to tame magic, channeling it into spells with direct intent. Elozahr the Blue was one such spellcaster.
Patiently and deliberately, Elozahr sculpted his spells from ice, first creating the cantrip ray of frost, and then the spell ice storm. With decades of work and the assistance of his apprentice, Evocatia the Red, he perfected his masterpiece, a spell so powerful that few mages could lay claim to it: cone of cold. He traveled to his apprentice’s scorching, iron tower to test her mettle with this new spell, but instead discovered that Evocatia’s familiar was a sinister fiend, who tempted her with secrets of hellfire magic. Outraged, Elozahr froze her tower solid and shattered it to bits. The two wizards worked in secret to outdo one another, each laying the foundations for their own schools of magic. At last, Elozahr and Evocatia met on the field of Armistal to parley and settle their differences. But Elozahr found that his apprentice carried with her a flame tongue meant to slay him, so he struck first with an icy blast.
Summoning all their canny and arcane might, the two wizards unleashed a torrent of wrath upon each other. When all was done, nothing remained of Evocatia and Elozahr but dust. True to his work, Elozahr’s vestige is a sculpture of a mage, carved from black ice, whose voice is like a howling wind.
