Freeze
Arcane Spell, Altering, Conjuring 2
APC: 12
SPC: 50
Range: 300 ft
Requires: Gesture, Verbal, Line of Effect
Duration: Up to 1 minute
Choose a point within range. Make a magic attack against the FORT of each creature within 30 ft of that point. On a hit, a creature becomes Grounded and Restrained (Escape DC 10 + your magic attribute). On a miss, a creature is Grounded and cannot use AP to move until the end of its next turn but is otherwise unaffected.
On a crit, a creature becomes Fatigued as well.
Additionally, all nonmagical fires in the area are extinguished, standing water is frozen to a depth of 18 inches, and the area becomes difficult terrain due to heaping snowdrifts.
At the end of the duration, a creature that has not escaped the Restrained condition automatically escapes as the ice thaws from around its body. The ground remains difficult terrain until the snow melts at a rate commensurate to its environment.
Upcharge: +10 ft radius per +5 SP
