Effect
Creatures caught in the blast take 2d4 cold damage, with a successful Fortitude save reducing the damage by half. The force of the blast also limits affected creatures to one partial action for the rest of that round.
Using Northwind
The spell combines modest cold damage with immediate action denial, making positioning important. It is most useful when several enemies can be caught in the same cone just before they would otherwise act.
