Frost Whip

This spell creates a beam of frost stretching from the caster's hand. With a one-round delay, it can be shifted to any other body extremity; this ability is normally used only when the caster is climbing, dangling down from a ledge, or pinned under foes. The beam lasts until the spell expires, the caster wills the magic to end, or the priest undertakes the casting of another spell.

A frost whip is commonly swung about to lash foes. It can pass through them like a force, rather than a real whip, so that if the caster faces several opponents, it can be swung in an arc through all of them. If held in front of the body or across an opening, it can sometimes be made unavoidable so that foes must take damage from it, but it otherwise attacks once per round at the caster's normal THAC0 for 4d4 points of damage. A successful saving throw vs. spell reduces the damage by half.

A gently applied frost whip can also freeze windows shut, stop pipes, freeze water, ruin fruits and vegetables, and render items fragile or surfaces slippery.
