Spell
Glacial Vortex
Created by TheEchoTreeWhen you cast Glacial Vortex, a swirling maelstrom of supernatural cold materializes within a 10-foot radius of your choosing. The vortex pulls in biting winds and crystalline shards of ice that spin with devastating force, freezing everything in its path with an intensity that surpasses natural winter. Any creature caught within the spell's area of effect faces the perilous touch of absolute zero, their flesh and bone turning brittle and lifeless in mere moments. The magic is so potent that even inanimate objects become encased in thick layers of impenetrable ice, rendered useless or shattered by the extreme temperatures. Those unfortunate enough to be at the epicenter of this frozen tempest may find themselves completely consumed by the vortex's lethal grip. The spell's effects linger briefly, leaving behind a treacherous field of jagged ice and numbing cold that persists for several rounds.

Effects
When you cast Glacial Vortex, a swirling maelstrom of supernatural cold materializes within a 10-foot radius. Any creature caught within the area must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, they take 6d8 cold damage and are paralyzed until the end of their next turn. On a successful save, they take half damage and are not paralyzed. The area becomes difficult terrain, and any creature that starts its turn in the area takes 2d6 cold damage.
