Cold Snap is an open cast warding spell that causes targets to become rooted. The root status effect causes a target to have -50 attack strength (AS) to melee attacks, -25 AS to ranged attacks, and -25 defensive strength (DS) (but does not stack with the DS penalties from other status conditions such as being knocked down). Most importantly, rooted creatures cannot perform maneuvers. The spell will affect a base of up to 4 targets, increasing with training in Elemental Lore, Water. The duration of the root is (warding margin / 5) + 3, minimum of 8 seconds and maximum of 25 seconds.
Casting the spell a second time will completely encase any already affected target that fails to ward in an ice block, immobilizing them and refreshing the duration. Targets encased in ice will have a chance, based on Elemental Lore, Water, to shatter when an applicable bolt spell is CHANNELled.
If an affected target receives any fire damage (i.e. from 906, 908, 111, etc), the effect ends (since it's melting the ice) and the target receives a steam critical, similar to how trolls react to fire.
If a target is drenched from Minor Water (903 or 518) soaking, or if the spell is cast in a watery room, the affected target(s) suffer -25 penalty to target defense (TD).
Non-corporeal targets are better able to defend against the spell, and thus receive a TD bonus of creature level/10. Creatures that are made of fire or emanate heat are immune to Cold Snap.
Usage
- PREP 512 | CAST or INCANT 512 to cast this spell against anything not grouped to the caster, attempting to root all targets. For INCANT, a target must be visible in the room
- PREP 512 | CAST or INCANT 512 to attempt to immobilize all targets that are rooted, but targets that were not rooted on the first cast will be warded first
- PREP 512 | EVOKE to cast the spell against those that have already been rooted first (for second cast)
- INCANT 512 OPEN to open cast this spell once using INCANT (when a target is not visible)
- INCANT 512 EVOKE to evoke this spell once using INCANT
