Auril’s Hair
Description
Named for the goddess of cold, this plant is every bit as sharp and wicked as its namesake. Resembling icicles rising from the ground, auril’s hair is actually a flowering plant that sheds all of its greenery during the winter months, leaving just a sharp, icy blue stalk behind. In order to protect the important structures within this stalk, it has developed a remarkable ability to absorb and disperse the cold wherever it goes, much like the capricious Frostmaiden herself.
Effect. As an action, you may stab this stalk into the ground. If you do so, all the ground within 20 feet of you becomes covered in a thin layer of ice, causing it to become difficult terrain for the next 10 minutes (or half that if done in a hot environment). This stalk may be used in this way up to 3 times, after which it loses all of its stored cold energy and becomes useless.
