Chill

This spell creates an area of intense cold around the target, causing it to shiver regardless of how much clothing or fur is worn. For the duration of the spell, the target moves at half-speed and suffers a -2 penalty on attack and damage rolls provided they fail a saving throw vs. magic. An interesting side effect of the chill spell is that, if it is cast on a target under the effects of a chill metal spell, the target suffers a -2 penalty on Armor Class as well. Note that a resist cold spell (or any other related protective magic) prevents this from working.
