Cone of cold

Cone of cold, formerly known as Veridon's cone, was an evocation spell that froze all enemies in front of the caster.

Users
Cone of cold could be cast by sorcerers, wizards, and clerics who commanded the cold or ocean domains.

Effect
The spell simply projected a cone of intense cold from the caster's hand, draining heat from all caught within.

Components
A casting of cone of cold required a very small cone fashioned of either crystal or glass.

In the Raumviran spellcasting tradition, the verbal component was the word silo'at.

History
The spell was created by the arcanist Veridon of Netheril, ruler of the enclave of Lathery. He introduced it in 3419 NY (−440 DR) under the name Veridon's cone. It later became known simply as cone of cold.
