Ice Storm

School: Evocation [Cold]

Casting Time: 1 Standard Action

Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./CL)

Target: Cylinder in target area

Duration: 1 round/CL

Saving Throw: None

Spell Resistance: Yes

You conjure a storm of ice in the form of a cylinder. The storm is (20 ft. + 5 ft./CL) tall, and (40 ft. + 5 ft./CL) wide. Great magical hailstones pound down upon casting this spell, dealing 1 cold damage per CL to all creatures within the area for each round which the creatures occupy the area (damage occurs on your turn). For the remaining duration of the spell, heavy snow and sleet rains down in the area. The sleet obscures all sight, including darkvision, beyond 10 feet. A creature within 10 feet has concealment (attacks have a 20% miss chance). Creatures farther away have total concealment (50% miss chance, and the attacker can’t use sight to locate the target). In addition, the entire area is treated as difficult terrain.

At the end of the duration, the snow and hail disappear, leaving no after-effects (other than the damage dealt).
