Cryokinesis is a mental mutation that allows the player to cool nearby areas with their mind, dealing damage to and decreasing the temperature of those within.
giant centipede and a 
snapjaw scavenger in 
Red Rock.Cryokinesis grants the "Chill" activated ability, which when used, will prompt the player to pick a tile to cast the ability on. This tile must be a visible square and cannot be further than 8 tiles from the player.[1]
Using Chill will create a 3x3 area of frozen mist(favilink error!) that lasts for 3 rounds, centered on the chosen tile. Any creature that ends their turn within the frozen mist will suffer cold damage and a significant temperature decrease as determined by mutation level. Three different damage rolls are calculated for all 3 rounds that the frozen mist is active, where the damage rolls get higher every round. After 3 rounds, the frozen mist will disappear.
Formulas
The following formulas are used to determine damage (rounded up) and temperature decrease based on mutation level.[2]

|---|---|
| Damage (Round 2) | (Level)d3 / 2
|
| Damage (Round 3) | (Level)d4 / 2

| Temperature Decrease | (-20 - 60 × Level) / 2

Advantages & Disadvantages
Advantages
- Deals remote damage and can decrease temperature, causing creatures to become frozen
- Decent area of effect
- Lasts for multiple rounds before disappearing
Disadvantages
- Very high cost at character generation
- Relatively poor range
- Creatures will often path around the frozen mist if it isn't cast directly on top of them
