When a creature uses '''Cryokinesis''', the targeted 3x3 area is surrounded in {{favilink|frozen mist}}.
{{Name}} is a [[Mutations#Mental Mutations|mental mutation]] that allows the player to cool nearby areas with their mind, dealing damage to and decreasing the temperature of those within.  


If a creature ends their turn inside the frozen mist, they will suffer [[Damage_Type#Cold|cold damage]] depending on the '''Cryokinesis''' level and the current damage round (turn) of the effect.
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.{{Code Reference|namespace=XRL.World.Parts.Mutation|class=Cryokinesis}}


{{name}} also lowers the target's temperature by <math>-20 - \frac{60 \times \text{Level}}{2}</math>{{Code Reference|class=CryoZone}}, which has a chance to freeze the target, especially at higher mutation levels.
Using Chill will create a 3x3 area of {{favilink|frozen mist}} that lasts for 3 rounds, centered on the chosen tile. Any creature that ends their turn within the frozen mist will suffer [[Damage_Type#Cold|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.

Cryokinesis

You chill a nearby area with your mind.

Chills affected area over 3 rounds
Range: 8
Area: 3x3
Round 1 Damage: (level based)d2 divided by 2
Round 2 Damage: (level based)d3 divided by 2
Round 3 Damage: (level based)d4 divided by 2
Cooldown: 50 rounds

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.

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 decrease increase based on mutation level.[2]

Damage (Round 1)
(Level)d2 / 2
Damage (Round 2)
(Level)d3 / 2
Damage (Round 3)
(Level)d4 / 2
Temperature Decrease
(-20 - 60 × Level) / 2
