The mage is able to create a castle of ice and snow that has an interior area of 1000 square feet per rank. The spell takes a total of 1 hour to cast during which time the castle slowly forms from the surrounding ice and snow. This spell can only be cast in a location where ice and snow is plentiful and the temperature is no higher than minus 5 degrees Celsius. There must also be ample room to contain the castle but the GM should give the caster wide latitude. For example, the caster could create an ice castle in the form of a tall tower in a narrow clearing of a northern pine forest, or a castle that clings to the side of a cliff on a narrow mountain ledge.
The ice castle remains for 4 hours per rank; 48 hours at rank 10. If the temperature climbs above freezing while the castle is in existence, it will slowly start to melt.
The walls of the castle have the hardness of a Wall of Ice. The windows are constructed of ice that has the hardness but can be seen through with some degree of clarity (-10 to PER rolls reduced by 1 per rank). The doors are constructed of translucent ice and hinged with ice hinges that have the hardness of iron. The interior of the castle is cold but those inside are protected from the elements. A Resist Cold spell will be sustained for as long as the target of the spell remains inside the castle, dispelling only when the duration ends, or the target leaves the castle, whichever happens last. Targets of a Resist Cold will feel perfectly comfortable in an Ice Castle. |
