Glacius

Glacius is a Defensive Spell that has multiple effects. If a humanoid target is struck with a direct hit, they will be encased in a block of ice, immobilizing them for 3 seconds. Targets inside the ice block gain 75% damage negation. If cast on a surface, Glacius will create a sheet of ice that can reflect spells and ragdoll any players that touch it.
It costs 150 points and is unlocked at Year 1.
== Description ==
"Sends out a shard of ice from the wand that creates a slick surface of ice on impact. Hitting a target freezes them in a block of ice."
== Location ==
Glacius is located in the Ice Cave below the Dueling Arena, in the entrance area before the barrier that leads to the first Ice Golem.
== Upgrades ==
=== Upgrade 1: Coverage ===
The size of the area affected by the freeze field is increased.
=== Upgrade 1: Freezing Touch ===
Characters hit directly with the spell will be frozen in a block of ice until it melts.
== Notes and Trivia ==
* The block of ice has greatly reduced friction and gravity, and can be flung very far by using Repello near a drop or incline.
* Single-target damage spells will not penetrate the ice block, but AoE spells such as Confringo or Ignis Petra will be able to damage the victim while they are trapped.
* The ice sheet can be used to block doorways and entrances for a short time.
* Glacius can be used in combination with Episkey to heal oneself.
* Spells reflected from the ice sheet will home in on the player. This effect can be clearly observed by casting a slow-moving spell such as Laquem against the ice sheet, then quickly launching oneself far from the initial position with Encaseum Levo. The Laquem projectile will curve significantly to follow the player.
* Glacius used to be unlocked at Year 4, but on August 2nd, 2024, it was turned into a secret spell and given a location rather than being bought directly from the shop. Its year requirement was then lowered to 1.
