New Battle Spells

Icy Knives (Alteration)
Level: 4th
Range: 2 squares
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Instantaneous
Casting Time: 1 attack phase
Area of Effect: 1 square
Saving Throw: None

A powerful battle spell that creates icy daggers that then fly arcoss a battle field to strike any units in the effected square, both enemy and friendly. The daggers however are only made of ice so their effectivness is reduced by strong armour and any unit with the defence of 4 or above is not effected at all. All other units however take 1 hit of damage. The caster is he is in the square effected will also take damage unless he has a AC of 4 or better.
The material compent for this spell is either snow or cold water which ever is avalible. Not just any water will do however, it must be cold water. This tend to restrict the use of this spell to the colder regions of Cerilia.


Ice Castle (Alteration)
Level: 3rd
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 battle turn + 1/5 levels
Casting Time: 2 Attack Phases
Area of Effect: Square where caster current is
Saving Throw: None

This spell is used to create a icy fortress from the snowy landscape around the caster. When it is cast the snow reforms into a large fortress with a level equal the one third the casters current level of experience. The spell can only hold the fortress together for a small period of time, usually no longer that a couple of battle turns before the ice melts.
The fortress itself is only fairly basic with walls of ice and a platform for archers to stand on. The soldiers inside the walls would have to be well protected against the cold though or they would freeze.
The material compenent of the spell is either snow or a pool of freezing water.


Snowmen (Alteration, Conuration/Summoning)
Level: 3rd
Range: 3 squares
Components: V, S, M
Duration: Until sunrise
Casting Time: 1 Attack Phase
Area of Effect: 1 square
Saving Throw: None

With this battle spell the caster is able to make copies of enemy units to fight for him. Only one unit at a time can be effected this way and it is never an exact copy, with the icy soldiers only having very rough forms. The snowmen's weapons are weaker than the normal unit so their attack is alway reduced to half that or the original unit while their defence remains the same. If the original unit had a missile rating then the copy will lose that value and only have the melee and charge values. Fire or heat based spells and even the sun itself are the enemy of these snowy unit so if they are exposed to direct sunlight, or fire based spell, they will be destroyed. Also while the unit is fighting the caster would need to maitain concentration to keep the snowmen active, or they will just stand there and now move.
The material component is large quantities of snow, water will not do in this case, and a wooden pipe.


Snow Beasts (Alteration, Conjuration/Summoning)
Level: 4th
Range: 3 Squares
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 4 battle turns
Casting Time: 1 Attack Phase
Area of Effect: 1 square
Saving Throw: None

The unit has the following stats.
Move: 2 Melee: 4
Defence: 6
Morale: N/a
The caster must maintain concentration on the unit and can not cast other spells or similar when the unit is fighting. If the caster loose concentration for some reason then the unit stand still and can not fight. The units icy weapons are not as strong as steel and the melee rating is reduced because of this, however their icy forms are very tough and it is difficult to cause much damage hence the high defence rating.
The material component is large quantities of snow or cold water.


Kriesha's Hail (Evocation)
Level: 4th
