Snowball Swarm

Name:	Snowball Swarm
School:	Evocation (Cold)
Spell Level:	Sor/Wiz 2
Special:
Components:	VerbalVerbal: A verbal component is a spoken incantation. You cannot cast spells that require this component if you cannot act or speak. Certain rare spells, such as Silence Creature, may temporarily disable spells that require verbal components., SomaticSomatic: A somatic component is a measured and precise movement of the hand. You cannot cast spells that require this component if you cannot move causing arcane spell failure resulting in a ruined spell. Spells without a somatic component may be used with disregard to Arcane Spell Failure chance. Note - that characters make the same arm gestures for most spells in DDO, so you can't tell which spells require this component by watching your character's animations., MaterialMaterial: A material component is one or more physical substances or objects that are annihilated by the spell energies in the casting process. You must have the required items in your inventory. If you run out of the components, the game will not allow you to cast the spell and will instead inform you of what component is missing. The metamagic feat Eschew Materials and some enhancements in Draconic Incarnation can remove this restriction.

Description

A flurry of magical snowballs erupt near your target, dealing 1d6+2 cold damage per caster level. Maximum damage 10d6+20 at caster level 10. A successful Reflex save reduces the damage by half.

Notes:

• The game lists a 8 second duration, but it has none. It does have a short ~1 second delay between the time the spell is cast and when it actually hits however. This can be both useful or detrimental depending on the situation.
• Casting speed - Fast. Almost instantaneous with quicken enabled.
• There is no projectile, therefore the spell cannot be blocked by barrels or other objects. The spell uses a short Ice Storm animation (ice falling from the ceiling).
• This spell has one of the largest AOEs in the game, it matches if not exceeds the AOE of Delayed Blast Fireball and is not affected by engine bugs where the AOE is blocked by the floor.
