Description
A deep and chilling cold settles into the target's body, dealing 1d6 cold damage + 1 per caster level every 2 seconds for a duration of 16 seconds. Up to a maximum of 1d6 + 20 at caster level 20. This spell can stack on the target up to 3 times, increasing the damage with each stack.
Upon each stacking cast, the timer is reset to 16 seconds. A stack of 2 is double damage and a stack of 3 is triple damage. Casting on a target with 3 stacked instances just resets the timer maintaining damage at triple.
Notes:
- Deals no initial tic, 7 tics total as the first tics a bit delayed at around the 3 second mark
- At caster level 20, when fully stacked: This means it deals 3d6+60 damage, every 2 seconds. Or 63-78 per tic. For 7 tics thats an average of 493.5 damage.
Interactions with other spells:
- Crushing Wave on various weapons and Ruby of the Crushing Wave may suppress Niac's Biting Cold.
