Gemidan's Icicle (Wizard Spell)

Available to: Gemidan, Khelben, Laeral
When cast, this spell summons an ice-blue bolt that streaks to its intended target like a magic missile. It does 1d4 points of damage to one opponent (2d4 to fire-based or fire-using foes) and causes a 1'-thick patch of ice to form over a 3' radius at its impact point. The spell is designed to hit foes in their eyes (blinding them for one round) or their hands (disrupting spellcasting for one round), the target area named at the time of casting. The ice dissolves into mist after one round.
This variant of the Snilloc's Snowball spell was created by Gemidan, Khelben's youngest apprentice. Like its parent spell, it has the benefits of greater range at higher levels, and can be used against objects (triggering traps or placing ice on torches to extinguish lights, etc.).
The material component for this spell is a piece of ivory or a small chunk of ice.
Notes: Known by Gemidan, Khelben, Laeral, and those trained by them; very rare.
