What it does

Five blocks of ice rise in a line across the aim for 10 s. Their tiles carry F_BLOCK|F_OBJECT: walkers, flyers and every flat projectile stop at it, yours and theirs (lobs and strikes from above pass). Foes touching it are chilled (0.35, 2 s) every 0.5 s. Press the spell again while it stands to shatter it outward: 1.6x frost to foes within 1.5 tiles of the line on both sides, plus one chill. Left alone it simply melts. It never rises under a body, on doors, bridges or water.
