Frost Blade

Frost Blade is the evolutionary form of Frozen Sword. While the effects may seem similar at first, this spell works without having to touch or wave the hand over the steel saber, dramatically reducing the invocation and charge up time. Frost Blade enchants the sword with a stronger ice elemental property that lasts longer. While most wielders use this in their advantage of rapid invocation to follow up the spell with a successive sword strike, doing so is not exactly a requirement. Frost Blade is more often considered a full attack spell compared to Frozen Sword because of the swifter opportunity to invoke and strike within a short period of time. This is essentially a full upgrade to Frozen Sword in every way imaginable.

Effect

Attack Form: Elemental Infusion
Attack Type: Ice Elemental Enchantment Effect + Ice Elemental Magical Damage
Glyphring: Generation Only

Side/Secondary Effects

If the sword is generated through a glyphring, the blade and the aura itself will take twice as long to invoke, while aura itself will last for only half the average duration than when used normally. Wielders who are hit with ice elemental magic will feel the freezing sensation inside of their own body, which quickly lowers body temperature while slowing that opponent down.

Manifestation

The blade becomes engulfed in a coat of thick ice, which carries a powerful mist effect from rapid sublimation. Putting the skin near the blade during this effect will enable one to feel the thermal energy difference immediately. The coat of ice retains the shape of any sword it is attached too, which means the blade length is actually expanded significantly while the sharpness is greatly improved. The handle of the sword is not affected by the aura, elsewise the wielder would be harmed by their own spell. The aura stays attached to the blade during its entire lifetime, and inflicting damage on another target does not affect the remaining lifespan of that aura.
