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., 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.

Description

Deals on-going cold damage to the target every 2 seconds for 12 seconds. The damage starts small, and grows larger as the spell continues. Each phase lasts 4 seconds.

• First phase: 1d4 Cold damage +2 per 3 caster levels (max +12 at caster level 18).
• Second phase: 2d4 Cold damage +4 per 3 caster levels (max +24 at caster level 18).
• Third phase: 3d4 Cold damage +6 per 3 caster levels (max +36 at caster level 18).

Total damage over entire twelve-second duration: 12d4 + 24 per 3 caster levels (max +72 at caster level 18).

Interactions with other spells:

• If you cast another Creeping Cold, the old spell is gone, replaced by the new one. This means you're losing the increased damage from phase 2 and phase 3. Recast only after the final tic.
• Creeping Cold and Greater Creeping Cold can affect a target simultaneously.
• Creeping Cold suppresses Niac's Biting Cold of all arcane casters. Fixed (unknown update).
• Creeping Cold spell doesn't stack with the Season's Herald Creeping Cold SLA (DDO Forums)
• Crushing Wave on various weapons and Ruby of the Crushing Wave may reset the counter
