Corroding Rains

Those of the Sapphire Order have a strange blend of concepts within their magicks, of course. Much of what they do is all about merely altering or shifting the current of Uisce as it is already behaving, instead of directly grabbing and reshaping the energy itself. This is a prime example of that.

Effect

Basic Effects: Weaving the flow of Uisce all about you, you energize it, altering it ever so slightly, guiding it through different branches to the same result. The rain all about you in range becomes more dangerous, corrosive, a skin peeling acidic and contaminated mess. Every round, all creatures in range take 1d6 poison damage, 1d6 cold damage, and 1d6 necrotic damage. Non magickal metal objects begin to corrode over the first minute, even beginning to rust. This applies to weapons and armor and other worn objects. Plant matter/plant creatures take no cold damage but double the amount of poison and necrotic damage taken.

Ice-Blooded: If creatures of a reptilian or amphibious type, or with a natural vulnerability to cold (such as a Fire Elemental) are subjected to the effects of this spell-form, the cold damage becomes 1d10 and they are afflicted with the Slow (1) condition.

Side/Secondary Effects

Tier II Effects: Increase all damage instances by 1d6 or 1d10 as appropriate

Tier III Effects: Increase all damage instances by 1d6 or 1d10 as appropriate.

Manifestation

Elize let out a sight of relief, even as the rain began to fall, as she released the spell-form. All around them the foul yuan-ti began to react with panic, but also with lethargy, the biting cold of slowing their bodies even as the toxic and corroding qualities of the rain began eating at the metal objects they carried. The raiders hissed their displeasure, trying to retreat but doing so quite slowly, with no real ability to create distance.
