Ice - Ice Bridge

[PotatoJedi]

Name: Ice Bridge

Casting time: 1 minute per 20m
Range: Up to 200m
Duration: 10 min
MP cost: 2 per 20m


You turn a body of water into sleek, slippery ice. You must walk at half speed to not risk falling over. Dexterity roll at Half or -30 to move faster unless you are wearing appropriate footwear, in which case it's at full. The ice created is 1m wide and can hold up to 150kg of weight before breaking. If things are at least 3m away from each other, the weight gets distributed and therefore does not "stack". If the ice breaks, only that area of the bridge is affected.

Once the spell ends, the entire bridge dissolves back into water instantly.

Not sure if I want to go quite that powerful.

100kg max at any point, regardless of where they are located on the bridge? Means only about one person can cross at a time.

Still - you're making a bridge.

Name: Ice Platform

Casting time: 1 minute
Range: 1m
Duration: 1 hour
MP cost: 4


You target a body of water and turn it into a floating ice platform capable of supporting up to 3 people standing (no room to sit). Does not work on "rough" waters. The platform is not very stable so any erratic movements may cause you to fall over. Recasting this spell on the same platform does not extend the duration – it only renews it.

Got it - just not sure what the point would be. Why not build up water walking? Plus, if you make ice in the tropics, it won't stay around long at all. Do I want to worry about what speed ice melts? We can't even keep our polar ice caps!

[PotatoJedi]

Good point about the water walking. Might as will just use that instead. Not much use for this then. But to answer your other point – magic. It doesn't melt under normal circumstances.

But I did put up LOTS of other spell ideas if you get interested in any of those.
