Calls on the ancient cold lurking within the earth to emerge - violently. The force of its emergence blasts rock from the ceiling, smashing into the target with unavoidable force. The cold itself is brief but unbearably bitter, bypassing armour entirely as it freezes the target and their neighbours.

It will always attempt to blast the largest concentration of foes in sight, and never explodes next to the caster.

Permafrost Eruption is a level 6 Ice Magic/Earth spell which targets the largest clump of enemies in your line of sight. It deals physical damage to the targeted square, and cold damage in a 3x3 area.

Useful Info

Targets the largest clump of enemies in your line of sight. It deals physical damage to the enemy at the center targeted tile. Then, it deals a cold hit, ignoring AC, to that enemy and every adjacent enemy.

The explosion can never be centred next to you, meaning you will never take damage from this spell. However, this spell cannot be cast when all monsters you are fighting are in melee range.

Permafrost Eruption is considered a destructive spell and is supported by Vehumet. Without Vehumet's range extension, this spell cannot be cast when all monsters are at range 7 or 8 from the player.
