This spell creates a sudden squall of dense snow combined with deep biting cold.
It can be cast in one of two forms:
- Dispersed: the squall is spread out, bringing cold and misery to a wider area. This effects two 5′x5′ squares plus one square per four levels of caster (maximum seven). The must all be adjacent and withing the range of the spell. All within the area take 1d4 + 1 point per three levels (maximum +6) of caster in cold damage and, if the area is lit by the equivalent of sunlight, they are also dazzled for 1 round.
- Focused: All of the cold and snow is concentrated in one area, creating a sudden build up of snow and drop in temperature. It targets one 5×5 square, all with that square take 3d4 + 1 point per level of caster (maximum +20) in cold damage and, if the area is lit by the equivalent of sunlight, they are also dazzled for 1d3 rounds. Additionally, the square is treated as difficult terrain for 1d4+1 rounds thereafter.
