This spell encases the target in supernaturally cold ice, up to 1 inch thick per caster level. The target is completely immobilized and suffers 3d6 points of cold damage each round. Each round, the target may make a Strength check vs. DC 20 + 1 per three caster levels to break out of the ice. However, if the target breaks free, it is severely numbed and frostbitten and suffers 1d6 points of Strength and Dexterity damage that lasts for 1 round per two caster levels.

If the ice takes 50 points of fire damage or more in 1 round, it melts.
