Effect
Creatures in the 90-foot cone take 66d6 cold damage and 18 points of Dexterity damage and are transformed into statues of ice and frost under the spell’s transformation component.
A successful Fortitude save halves the cold and Dexterity damage. The transformation element should be resolved according to the spell’s listed save interaction and the campaign’s epic transform rules.
The spell is attributed in the source to Mephistopheles.
Edition Status
This is third-party 3.x epic-spell material. Do not translate 66d6 damage, ability damage or its transformation effect directly into modern D&D without a deliberate conversion.
