Chill Touch
Necromancy 1 standard action SRD
Fortitude partial or Will negates; see text - Yes Arc 2, Blg 2, Cold 1, Duskblade 1, Sor/Wiz 1, Wmg 1 V, S
Instant Touch General
Targets: Creature or creatures touched (up to one/level)

One touch/level deals 1d6 damage and possibly 1 Str damage.

A touch from your hand, which glows with blue energy, disrupts the life force of living creatures. Each touch channels negative energy that deals 1d6 points of damage. The touched creature also takes 1 point of Strength damage unless it makes a successful Fortitude saving throw. You can use this melee touch attack up to one time per level.

An undead creature you touch takes no damage of either sort, but it must make a successful Will saving throw or flee as if panicked for 1d4 rounds +1 round per caster level.

Chill Metal
Transmutation [Cold] 1 standard action SRD
Will negates (object) - Yes (object) Arc 2, Artificer 2, Blg 2, Cold 2, Drd 2 V, S, DF
7 rounds Close General
Target: Metal equipment of one creature per two levels, no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart; or 25 lb. of metal/level, none of which can be more than 30 ft. away from any of the rest

Cold metal damages those who touch it.

Chill metal makes metal extremely cold. Unattended, nonmagical metal gets no saving throw. Magical metal is allowed a saving throw against the spell. An item in a creatures possession uses the creatures saving throw bonus unless its own is higher.

A creature takes cold damage if its equipment is chilled. It takes full damage if its armor is affected or if it is holding, touching, wearing, or carrying metal weighing one-fifth of its weight. The creature takes minimum damage (1 point or 2 points; see the table) if its not wearing metal armor and the metal that its carrying weighs less than one-fifth of its weight.

On the first round of the spell, the metal becomes chilly and uncomfortable to touch but deals no damage. The same effect also occurs on the last round of the spells duration. During the second (and also the next-to-last) round, icy coldness causes pain and damage. In the third, fourth, and fifth rounds, the metal is freezing cold, causing more damage, as shown on the table below.

7ColdNone

Any heat intense enough to damage the creature negates cold damage from the spell (and vice versa) on a point-for-point basis. Underwater, chill metal deals no damage, but ice immediately forms around the affected metal, making it more buoyant. Chill metal counters and dispels heat metal.

Sleet Storm
Conjuration (Creation) [Cold] 1 standard action SRD
None - No Arc 3, Cold 3, Drd 3, Sor/Wiz 3, Storm 4, Wmg 3 V, S, M/DF
1 round/level Long General
Area: Cylinder (40-ft. radius, 20 ft. high)

Hampers vision and movement.

Driving sleet blocks all sight (even darkvision) within it and causes the ground in the area to be icy. A creature can walk within or through the area of sleet at half normal speed with a DC 10 Balance check. Failure means it can't move in that round, while failure by 5 or more means it falls (see the Balance skill for details).

The sleet extinguishes torches and small fires.

Ice Storm
Evocation [Cold] 1 standard action SRD
None - Yes Arc 4, Cold 4, Drd 4, Sor/Wiz 4, Storm 5, Water 5, Weather 4, Winter 4, Wmg 3, Wuj 4 V, S, M/DF
1 full round Long General
Area: Cylinder (20-ft. radius, 40 ft. high)

Hail deals 5d6 damage in cylinder 40 ft. across.

Great magical hailstones pound down for 1 full round, dealing 3d6 points of bludgeoning damage and 2d6 points of cold damage to every creature in the area. A -4 penalty applies to each Listen check made within the ice storms effect, and all land movement within its area is at half speed. At the end of the duration, the hail disappears, leaving no after-effects (other than the damage dealt).

Wall of Ice
Evocation [Cold] 1 standard action SRD
Reflex negates; see text - Yes Arc 5, Cold 5, Ocean 5, Shu 5, Sor/Wiz 4, Wuj 4 V, S, M/DF
1 min./level Medium General
Effect: Anchored plane of ice, up to one 10-ft. square/level, or hemisphere of ice with a radius of up to 3 ft. + 1 ft./level

Ice plane creates wall with 15 hp +1/level, or hemisphere can trap creatures inside.

This spell creates an anchored plane of ice or a hemisphere of ice, depending on the version selected. A wall of ice cannot form in an area occupied by physical objects or creatures. Its surface must be smooth and unbroken when created. Any creature adjacent to the wall when it is created may attempt a Reflex save to disrupt the wall as it is being formed. A successful save indicates that the spell automatically fails. Fire can melt a wall of ice, and it deals full damage to the wall (instead of the normal half damage taken by objects). Suddenly melting a wall of ice creates a great cloud of steamy fog that lasts for 10 minutes.

Ice Plane: A sheet of strong, hard ice appears. The wall is 1 inch thick per caster level. It covers up to a 10-foot-square area per caster level (so a 10th-level wizard can create a wall of ice 100 feet long and 10 feet high, a wall 50 feet long and 20 feet high, or some other combination of length and height that does not exceed 1,000 square feet). The plane can be oriented in any fashion as long as it is anchored. A vertical wall need only be anchored on the floor, while a horizontal or slanting wall must be anchored on two opposite sides.

Each 10-foot square of wall has 3 hit points per inch of thickness. Creatures can hit the wall automatically. A section of wall whose hit points drop to 0 is breached. If a creature tries to break through the wall with a single attack, the DC for the Strength check is 15 + caster level.

Even when the ice has been broken through, a sheet of frigid air remains. Any creature stepping through it (including the one who broke through the wall) takes 1d6 points of cold damage +1 point per caster level (no save).

Hemisphere: The wall takes the form of a hemisphere whose maximum radius is 3 feet + 1 foot per caster level. The hemisphere is as hard to break through as the ice plane form, but it does not deal damage to those who go through a breach.

Cone of Cold
Evocation [Cold] 1 standard action SRD
Reflex half - Yes Cold 6, Sor/Wiz 5, Water 6, Wmg 5, Wuj 5 V, S, M/DF
Instant 60 ft. General
Area: Cone-shaped burst

1d6/level cold damage.

Cone of cold creates an area of extreme cold, originating at your hand and extending outward in a cone. It drains heat, dealing 1d6 points of cold damage per caster level (maximum 15d6).

Control Weather
Transmutation 10 minutes; see text SRD
None - No Air 7, APeace 7, Arc 7, Blg 7, Clr 7, Cold 7, Drd 7, Shu 6, Sor/Wiz 7, Storm 7, Summer 7, Weather 7, Winter 7, Wuj 6 V, S
4d12 hours; see text 2 miles General
Area: 2-mile-radius circle, centered on you; see text

Changes weather in local area.

You change the weather in the local area. It takes 10 minutes to cast the spell and an additional 10 minutes for the effects to manifest. You can call forth weather appropriate to the climate and season of the area you are in.

SeasonPossible Weather
Spring Tornado, thunderstorm, sleet storm, or hot weather
Summer Torrential rain, heat wave, or hailstorm
Autumn Hot or cold weather, fog, or sleet
Winter Frigid cold, blizzard, or thaw
Late winter Hurricane-force winds or early spring (coastal area)

You control the general tendencies of the weather, such as the direction and intensity of the wind. You cannot control specific applications of the weatherwhere lightning strikes, for example, or the exact path of a tornado. When you select a certain weather condition to occur, the weather assumes that condition 10 minutes later (changing gradually, not abruptly). The weather continues as you left it for the duration, or until you use a standard action to designate a new kind of weather (which fully manifests itself 10 minutes later). Contradictory conditions are not possible simultaneously.

Control weather can do away with atmospheric phenomena (naturally occurring or otherwise) as well as create them.

A druid casting this spell doubles the duration and affects a circle with a 3-mile radius.

Polar Ray
Evocation [Cold] 1 standard action SRD
None - Yes Cold 8, Duskblade 5, Sor/Wiz 8, Wmg 8 V, S, F/DF
Instant Close General
Effect: Ray

Ranged touch attack deals 1d6/level cold damage.

A blue-white ray of freezing air and ice springs from your hand. You must succeed on a ranged touch attack with the ray to deal damage to a target. The ray deals 1d6 points of cold damage per caster level (maximum 25d6).
