Chilling blow

Chilling blow is a swordmage spell of the transmutation school, most commonly used by those of the shielding style. When cast, chilling blow instills the swordmage's weapon with magical cold, so that the wound they leave freezes instantly, causing the target deep pain charged with the swordmage's intellect. This frozen flesh continues to injure its owner for a short while afterward, precisely how much dependent upon the vitality of the swordmage in question. The spell is not particularly complex and it can be recast after a short rest of at least a few minutes.
