Winterland

9th-level evocation (Bard, Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard)


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: Self (1-mile radius)
  • Components: V, S, M (a twig taken from a tree in Winter)
  • Duration: 10 minutes

A 6-inch thick layer of ice and snow covers the ground and grounded objects within 1 mile of you, turning all ground in the affected area into difficult terrain. All nonmagical fire in the affected area is extinguished as well as currently burning flames created by spells of 6th level or lower.

Unattended bodies of liquid within the affected area will freeze solid or form surface layers of ice.

The atmosphere within 1 mile of you is chilled and slightly fogged for the duration, causing fire damage dealt within 1 mile of you to be halved for the duration, and the area to be lightly obscured for seeing creatures and objects more than 60 feet away.

If a creature attempts to move more than 10 feet on the ground during the duration, it must make a DC 10 Acrobatics (Dexterity) check to balance or fall prone; special exceptions such as adaptive footwear or natural adaptations may make balancing checks unnecessary.
