Effect: Creates a barrier of ice
Keywords: Water-Cold.
This spell creates a half-circle of ice for protection.
The spellcaster throws a handful of water where they want the barrier to appear and makes a Spellcasting (6) test.
If successful, the ice freezes into an unmoving barrier which protects whoever is inside from attacks in a half-circle (three horizontal directions on a hex-grid). The barrier is clear and prevents other spells from passing through it on both sides as any other solid object. It has a Death Rating of 30; excess damage beyond the Death Rating has no effect.
Most spellcasters use this to protect themselves from being attacked from behind or to create an area of temporary reprieve to heal a fallen ally.
