	Frostbite
Abbreviation:	`FRB`
Prerequisites:	none
Minimum Prep:	5
Casting Cap:	66
Valid Spell Target:	Area
Description:	The Frostbite spell quickly and drastically lowers the temperature in the area, causing its victims to suffer from severe fatigue and frostbite. Ethereal Shield will protect the caster and helps minimize the effects on anyone else, but only Mantle of Flame will ensure complete safety. You should note that Frostbite is easier to use with extra mana during the winter, though by the same token, it is harder during the summer. Be warned, this spell is illegal in most jurisdictions and will result in a charge for Endangering Public Safety.
Example Messaging:	You gesture. Ice crystals begin to form in the air. The forest gryphon shakes off the effects of the cold. Roundtime: 1 seconds A baby forest gryphon shivers as frost covers its body! A fledgeling forest gryphon shivers as frost covers its body! A baby forest gryphon gasps in shock as its body is coated with thick frost! A baby forest gryphon collapses to the ground! <Player> shivers as frost covers his body! <Player>'s jagged black ethereal shield crackles with energy! Your water-based spell was completely vaporized. <Player>'s Mantle of Flame flares outward in a roaring hiss of steam! Your jagged black ethereal shield crackles with energy!

Notes

Removes Rising Mists when cast.
Casting RT increases with more mana from a min of 1 sec up to 5 sec.
Freezes you in place in deeper water: Ice crystals form around you and quickly solidify. You find yourself unable to move!

This spell will cause shock in Empaths even when it should not. The GMs are aware of this but are unlikely to fix it before Magic 3.0.
