Arctic Surge

LegendaryEvocation, Arcane

Unleash a freezing wind that sweeps across the battlefield, slowing enemies and coating surfaces in frost.

When its last active effect on you ends, the log shows “Ended Arctic Surge”. Expiration, dispelling and actions that break the effect all count; refreshing it does not.

Cast by a Mage, the class that can take Evocation furthest. Its casting attribute (Intelligence) was 5 at first and 10 at its best. The minimum respects the level’s proficiency budget; other attribute allocations and equipment can change when you can afford it.

Cast in a test arena at its best: spent 179 mana; placed: Arctic Surge.

Effect strengths describe potential output. Projectile and area contacts are not simulated, and abilities that need a chest, trap or another special target still require that situation in play.
