With a gesture, you cause a glacial mountain of ice to erupt from the ground at a point you choose within range. The mountain is 200 feet high at the peak, with jagged slopes down to a roughly circular base with a radius of 100 feet.

The mountain rises to its full height almost immediately, likely with catastrophic results for any structures on or above the ground where the spell takes effect. A flying creature where the mountain appears must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 10d10 bludgeoning damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. A non-flying creature within the area takes 5d10 bludgeoning damage and is abruptly tossed 50 feet in the air above the mountain.

The entire mountain is made of ice, and is therefore subject to melting and other natural forces as normal, leaving behind a 1-foot-deep crater if entirely removed.
