Control Ice

The caster creates ice walls or blasts of frigid cold to hinder or harm his enemies. On a successful casting, the caster may choose to invoke any effect of equal to or less than his spell check, allowing a range of options with every successful casting to produce a weaker but potentially more useful result.
Save: Fort partial (sometimes)

Effect

The caster conjures a vertical wall of solid ice to bar his enemies’ passage and protect his allies. Additionally, the wall emits painful waves of cold from the side opposite the caster. All within 30’ of the wall suffer 1d4+CL damage each round. The wall is 1” thick per caster level and up to 10’ square per caster level. Opponents can break through the wall with a Strength check vs. spell check DC but suffer 1d6+CL points of cold damage per round while doing so. The wall lasts for 1 turn per caster level. Magical fire destroys the wall in a single round.
