The “sword of ice and snow” is a Barcelasian weapon. It is a +2 long sword, shaded lightly blue. On a successful called attack, it can freeze opponents: the target must make an Evasion roll or take an extra d8 points damage from freezing and be at a penalty of one to attack, defense, and movement for ten minutes, cumulative with other freezings.
The sword can also freeze water twice per day. The sword must touch the water. It can freeze up to one cubic yard of water in a radius of four yards. The water remains frozen until the sword is removed. The sword is easily removed from such ice by the wielder. Others must make a strength roll, at a penalty of three, to extract the sword from the ice, and such an attempt takes one round.
