- {A total of \arabic{spellTargets} barrels' worth of liquid in the vicinity freezes over (meaning one per target).
- The spell can dramatically affect rivers, and any unfortunate taverns nearby.
- Rain presents even more serious problems to everyone around, including those afflicted by the spell.
-
- Each target effectively has a repeating spell of frost cast from their body.
- If they ever split up, each one will convert a single \gls{mp} in the area to this freezing effect.
- Of course, while together, the group will suck all \glspl{mp} from the surrounding air, but the spell continues, whether or not it has any \glspl{mp}.
-
- Once this aura runs dry for too long, the spell ends.
- Just like any person, the spell itself gains \glspl{fatigue} when no \glspl{mp} are present in the air, and once the \gls{fatigue} penalty reaches -5, the spell `dies'.
