Lowers the metabolic rate of every creature in the caster's vicinity, slowing all those who are not resistant to cold. Cold-blooded creatures will be affected much more strongly, and tougher creatures will be slowed for a shorter time.

Metabolic Englaciation is a level 5 Hexes/Ice spell that slows down monsters in caster's line of sight.

Effect

Applies the slow effect for creatures in caster's line of sight. The duration of this effect is dependent on spell power and inversely proportional to monster HD. Duration is doubled for cold-blooded targets. Cold resistant and stationary monsters are unaffected by this spell.

The slow effect will last for 3d(pow+1)/6 - (HD-1)/2 turns.[1] If this results in 0, then the spell is resisted, otherwise it has a minimum of (1 + 1d4) turns. Using this spell on an already slowed creature will increase its duration.
