Snow Summoning
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.
