Effect: This spell only
works if ice is present (i.e. in cold or arctic
condition, or on the round following
the release of an ice storm spell).

Using
a piece of ice and a drop of his or her
own spittle, the caster causes scattered
pieces of ice, augmented if necessary by
water, snow, or even moisture from the
air, to form a solid lance of ice. The
lance, a slender, pointed cylinder 12
feet in length, forms in mid-air in front
of the caster, floating horizontally, within
the round of casting. It is vulnerable
to physical and magical attack in the six
segments in which it is forming; in the
seventh it flies with blinding speed at a
target pointed to by the caster, up to 1"
distant per level of the caster. If it
strikes nothing ere reaching its maximum
range, it falls apart harmlessly in
midair into a cloud of water droplets.
The target (which must be a single creature)
or any creature that intercepts
the lance’s straight path to the target
creature suffers the lance’s effects. An
icelance strikes as if it were its own
caster striking, at +4 to hit, and is for
striking purposes (not damage) considered
a +4 magical weapon.

Any creature struck is stunned for
one round and thrown to the ground
violently if they are protected by a wall
of force, shield, or similar magic (the
lance is not a “normal missile”). Unprotected
structures suffer 1 point of
structural damage. Smaller objects are
affected as if by a “crushing blow.” An
unprotected creature suffers 5-30
points of damage. An icelance is never
deflected to strike something to one
side; it shatters completely upon striking
any solid object. This spell creates
only one lance, and it can only strike
once, without delay. If the spell is
attempted without ice present, it is
wasted; no spell effect occurs.

MC: A piece of ice and a drop of his or her own spittle.
