When cast the spell will subject non-grouped targets to a warding. Targets that fail to ward become [[rooted]]. The root status effect causes a target to have -50 AS to melee attacks, -25 AS to ranged attacks, and -25 DS (but does not stack with the -DS penalties from other status conditions such as being knocked down). Most importantly, rooted creatures also can't perform maneuvers. The spell will affect up to 4 targets, increasing by +1 per seed 5 summation of Elemental Lore, Water ranks. The duration of the root will be ((warding margin / 5) + 3), capped at 25 seconds. |

When '''Ice Patch''' is cast untargeted it creates a large patch of slippery ice that covers much of the surrounding area. Characters and creatures trying to engage in melee or thrown weapon combat on the ice patch will find that they may slip either before or after an attack is made. Training in [[Elemental Lore, Water]] increases both the duration of the patch and how effective it is at making the opponent slip and fall, with possible damage. |
|||
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. |
|||
In rooms with a watery surface, the spell mimics the effects of [[Water Walking (112)]] for all characters in the room. |
|||
If a target is encased in ice (512x2) and the caster CHANNELs a bolt that causes a rank 5+ impact (505, 510, 1709) critical, there is an (Elemental Lore, Water skill / 3) chance that the target location will shatter, completely destroying it and causing 50% of the target's max health in concussion damage. |
|||
If Ice Patch is directed at a specific target, on a successful warding roll it will deal immediate cold critical damage and apply the [[rooted]] condition, hindering combat and movement. Rooted targets cannot perform maneuvers, and receive a penalty of -50 AS to melee attacks, -25 AS to ranged attacks, and -25 DS, but this does not stack with some other [[:Category: Status Conditions|status conditions]]. |
|||
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. |

When cast the spell will subject non-grouped targets to a warding. Targets that fail to ward become rooted. The root status effect causes a target to have -50 AS to melee attacks, -25 AS to ranged attacks, and -25 DS (but does not stack with the -DS penalties from other status conditions such as being knocked down). Most importantly, rooted creatures also can't perform maneuvers. The spell will affect up to 4 targets, increasing by +1 per seed 5 summation of Elemental Lore, Water ranks. The duration of the root will be ((warding margin / 5) + 3), capped at 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.
If a target is encased in ice (512x2) and the caster CHANNELs a bolt that causes a rank 5+ impact (505, 510, 1709) critical, there is an (Elemental Lore, Water skill / 3) chance that the target location will shatter, completely destroying it and causing 50% of the target's max health in concussion damage.
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.
Usage
- PREP 512 | CAST {target} or INCANT 512 to cast this spell against a single target
- PREP 512 | CAST to cast the OPEN version of the spell, creating an ice patch in the room
- INCANT 512 OPEN to open cast this spell once using INCANT
- INCANT SET OPEN 512 to always open cast this spell using INCANT 512
- INCANT 512 EVOKE to cast the OPEN version of the spell once using INCANT. This may potentially hit non-creatures (i.e. other player characters)
- INCANT SET EVOKE 512 to always evoke this spell using INCANT 512. This is not recommended for open cast AoE attack spells
Lore Benefit
Training in Elemental Lore, Water makes it possible to cast Minor Water (903) at the target, which will be converted to Minor Cold (1709), for a number of casts equivalent to the bonus level of a seed 10 summation of ranks, while still costing 3 mana. This is the same benefit that previously existed under a targeted Ice Patch.
| Elemental Lore, Water ranks | 10 | 21 | 33 | 46 | 60 | 75 | 91 | 108 | 126 | 145 | 165 | 186 | 208 | 231 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Casts of Minor Water converted to Minor Cold | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 |
