 * description	= A ray of freezing ice and air projects from your finger dealing 1d5+5 cold damage per caster level (Maximum damage 5d5+25 at caster level 5). This ray has double spell range. A successful Reflex save negates damage.

Notes:
 * This is a projectile attack. You might not hit your intended target if it is moving too fast, or moves behind a wall or another object. If another hostile creature is in the way, the spell will hit that creature instead.


 * Features a very fast casting animation (near instant if quickened), and free double range like most ray spells.


 * This spell is the highest damage dealer in the beginner levels if supported by a very high conjuration DC and metamagic feats. Should you be able to land it consistantly, it will be able to destroy most starter enemies (i.e: CR1-4 Sahuagins, Cultists, Kobolds, Orcs) in a single shot.
