Snow Summoning

Table of Contents

Effect

The humidity of cold air is increased until snow starts falling around the caster. Skilled snow summoners can determine its shape as well, creating anything from tiny needles and coarse powder to thick, fluffy flakes. Especially powerful summoners can also create hail or even icicles.

Side/Secondary Effects

When the surrounding air is dry, the power becomes more exhausting to wield. Additionally, controlling the precise shape of the ice crystals demands a lot of concentration.     Exhaustion tends to weaken both the wielder's personality traits and cognitive processes. Symptoms can include:    
  • being caught off guard by attacks
  • bumping into obstacles
  • searching for obvious things
  • struggling to comprehend words
  • being less social than usual
  • being less inhibited in the company of others
  • being less forgiving about other's actions
  • being less passionate about one's interests
  • Applications

    Those who are attuned to Air often combine this with Air Hastening for offensive applications. They can propel snow at their opponents to inconvenience or outright injure them, depending on the crystals' shape and speed. Another strategy is to create barriers from miniature snow storms, impairing the opponent's vision and discouraging them from passing through that area.
