Cryomancers can manipulate elemental particles and hinder their movement - effectively cooling down matter in the blink of an eye. Most frost spells require a humid atmosphere (50+ percent humidity) or presence of liquid water. The caster may bring his own water source to mitigate this hindrance.
Cryomancy operates on the same principles as fire magic and the two spell schools can cancel out each other's effects. Frost casters often struggle with frost bites, blue extremities and chronic colds. Frostcasters are often disciplined and strategic on the battlefield.
Cryomancy commands the power of cold, stillness, and erosion. It shapes the battlefield through creeping ice, freezing winds, and brittle silence — slowing enemies, restricting movement, and sapping vitality with every breath.
Cryomancers are disciplined and strategic, excelling at control over chaos. They don’t overwhelm, they grind. Each spell punishes haste, isolates targets, and turns the environment into a hazard of rime and frostbite.
Their magic leaves visible and sensory marks: skin pale with chill, armor cracking under layered ice, sound muffled beneath snowfall. Cryomancy is not flashy — it is relentless, measured, and merciless.
You conjure a gleaming barrier of enchanted ice that radiates biting cold and reinforces your defenses.. While active, it grants bonus protection, and any creature that strikes you in melee is blasted with a retaliatory burst of frost.
You summon a raging storm of snow and ice that engulfs a wide area in freezing winds and blinding flurries. Enemies inside take cold damage each round and suffer penalties to movement, visibility, and ranged attacks. The storm persists as long as you maintain focus.
You radiate intense magical cold in a tight radius, sapping strength and coordination from all nearby enemies. Anyone caught in the aura suffers a penalty to both reaction time and accuracy, making them slower and less dangerous while the spell remains active.
You vanish in a swirling puff of snow, reappearing a few meters away as slick ice forms where you stood. Enemies caught in the freezing patch must balance quickly or lose their footing.
You conjure a dagger of razor-edged ice in your hand, cold to the touch and deadly up close. The blade lasts only moments, but channels magical precision into a focused melee strike that leaves frostbite in its wake.
You surrender your body to the cold, slowing your movement but channeling a surge of frost power into your spells. While active, all cryo spells you cast deal additional cold damage. Even non-damaging area spells with freezing effects gain a biting edge, inflicting minor damage to those caught within.
You fire a focused beam of chilling energy that strikes a single target, slowing movement and freezing exposed surfaces. The icy blast deals cold damage and may hinder the target’s next physical action due to stiffened limbs or frostbite.
