Ice Storm (Spell)

Duration: 4 hours

Minimum Cost: 150 mana

Cooldown: 45 hours

Range: Current Area

Syntax: cast 'ice storm'

A mage of Wintertide may use this working to summon forth a powerful blizzard to blanket the area. While the area is so affected, movement cost therein is tripled, attempts to locate others via the 'where' command will fail, noticing others entering and leaving rooms grows difficult, and scanning and archery become all but impossible. Blazing infernos will be extinguished and prevented, and the area as a whole will grow quite cold, if not already so. Furthermore, those caught out in the blowing snow will suffer periodic cold damage. Such a storm may not be summoned underwater.
