Frigid Barrier

3rd-level conjuration (Cleric, Druid, Ranger, Sorcerer, Wizard)


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: 60 feet
  • Components: V, S, M (a tiny sheet of glass)
  • Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

You create sheets of ice on one or more solid surfaces within range. Each sheet is a 5-foot-square panel that's 1 foot thick, and you can create a number of sheets up to your spellcasting ability modifier. The panels can be in any orientation as long as at least one edge of each panel is anchored to a solid surface or another panel, although a particularly lopsided structure may collapse.

If a panel cuts through a creature's space when it appears, that creature is pushed to the nearest unoccupied space and must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 2d8 cold damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one.

As a bonus action on each of your turns for the duration, you can create or dissolve any number of panels, as long as there are never more panels in place at one time than your spellcasting ability modifier.

These sheets of ice are objects that can be damaged and therefore breached. Each panel has AC 10 and 20 hit points, and is vulnerable to fire damage.
