Sculpts a pair of cannons from alchemical ice that assail the caster's enemies from long range. The frigid shards they fire rapidly coat their targets with a layer of brittle frost that slows their movement. The cannons are short-lived and consume a part of themselves with every shard they fire, but if they survive to fire their final salvo without interference, it will be extra-powerful.

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.
