Chilling Cirlce

Threads: 2

Weaving Difficulty: 6/15

Range: Touch

Duration: 6 + Rank rounds

Effect: d6 points of damage when in circle

Casting Difficulty: Target's Spell Defense

This spell creates a circle of cold that can damage characters who enter it. While weaving the threads, the nethermancer spins in a slow circle, increasing speed as he nears the end of spellcasting. He stops suddenly, kneeling to touch the center of the circle. A wave of cold ripples out 5 yards in every direction from the center.

The nethermancer makes a Spellcasting Test against the Spell Defense of any character inside the circle. If the nethermancer is not present, the circle makes the Spellcasting Test against whichever character inside the circle has the highest Spell Defense. A successful Spellcasting Test does Step 4 damage to the target character. Mystic armor protects against the damage.
