Snilloc's Snowball

This spell creates a mystical snowball in the hand of the caster, which can then be thrown immediately against any target within range. The snowball hits automatically for 1-3 points of damage, 1d6 points if used against a fire-using or fire-dwelling opponent. The snowball strikes like a magic missile and can be affected or repelled in the same way. (A brooch of shielding or thunderlance, for example, gives the same protection against both spells.)

Snilloc's snowball is considered by most mages to be a lesser form of magic missile, though it has the advantage in range at higher levels (as opposed to multiple strikes) and can be directed against an object as well as a creature. It is also more effective against fiery creatures.

The material component of this spell is a chunk of ice or a small bit of ivory.

There are reports of a 2nd-level variant of this spell with identical effects called Snilloc's cream pie. These reports are unconfirmed.
