### Ice Bolt (Evocation) **Level:** 3 **Components:** V, S, M **Range:** 40 yds. + 10 yds. per level **Casting Time:** 3 segments **Duration:** Instantaneous **Saving Throw:** Half **Area of Effect:** 10' x 40' bolt Ice bolt is similar to the well known [[Lightning Bolt]] spell. When cast, the wizard releases a powerful bolt of cold energy that inflicts 1d4+1 hp damage for each experience level of the spellcaster (maximum damage is 10d4 +10). Ice bolts are 10' wide, 5' high, and travel a maximum distance of 40'. Unlike lightning bolts, ice bolts do not reflect or rebound off solid surfaces. If an ice bolt reaches an unyielding barrier before it has traveled its full 40' distance, it dissolves harmlessly upon impact. Creatures within the area of effect are given a saving throw vs. spell to reduce damage by half. Though the ice bolt is uncomfortably cold, the damage is caused by magical energy and is subject to magic resistance. Creatures immune to cold still suffer damage from an ice bolt. The material components are a bit of wool and a bolt-shaped crystal; both are consumed in the casting.
