Conjures a cannonade of hail, battering nearby creatures that fail to dodge. The eye of the storm is wide enough that monsters adjacent to the caster are unaffected. Due to the strong impact and cutting edges, half of its damage bypasses cold resistance.

Hoarfrost Cannonade is a level 5 Ice/Alchemy spell that constructs 2 hoarfrost cannons near the caster, which are stationary turrets that fire long-range freezing projectiles each turn.

The cannons lose a portion of their HP with each shot they take. If they last long enough to shoot 5 times, their 5th shot will explode in a 3x3 area for increased damage that ignores allies.

The cannons count as allies, so followers of Okawaru cannot use this spell. When they are destroyed or dismissed for any reason, they will leave behind a pool of shallow water.
