Description

Frost covers the surface of this pea-sized crystal shaped into the likeness of a snowflake. When dropped onto a snow-covered or icy surface and activated as a standard action, the crystal emits a potent ultrasonic wave. Although the momentary pulse deals no damage and has no visible effect, there is a 50% chance the intense vibrations trigger an avalanche when the crystal is dropped onto a spot where conditions are suitable for an avalanche. If the crystal causes an avalanche, the wave of unstable ice and snow begins on the downslope adjacent to the crystal. Therefore, creatures standing on the upslope adjacent to the crystal as well as the crystal itself are unaffected by the avalanche. The crystal cannot be activated again for 24 hours.
