First phase: 2d4 Cold damage + 4 per 2 caster levels (max +40 at caster level 20). Second phase: 4d4 Cold damage + 6 per 2 caster levels (max +60). Third phase: 6d4 Cold damage + 8 per 2 caster levels (max +80). Total damage over entire twelve-second duration: 24d4 + 36 damage per two caster levels (max +360 at level 20).

Notes

• 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 tick.
  • Creeping Cold and Greater Creeping Cold can affect a target simultaneously.
  • Greater Creeping Cold suppresses Niac's Biting Cold of all arcane casters. Fixed (unknown update).
  • Crushing Wave on various weapons and Ruby of the Crushing Wave may reset the counter
