Freezing Ray

You emit a ray of frost from your hands.

Emits a 9-square ray of frost in the direction of your choice.
Damage: 1d3+1
Cooldown: 20 rounds
Melee attacks cool opponents by -1d4 degrees

Hitting a creature with a freezing ray forces a temperature change of -120 - 7 * (Mutation Level). If the user hits a target with a melee attack instead, they will additionally change the target's temperature by -1 * (Mutation level)d4 degrees. This attack does not need to penetrate, and does not need to be made by the limb Freezing Ray is located on.

Freezing Ray allows creatures to wear equipment in it's designated limb's slot and will continue to function even if that limb is covered. Losing the limb Freezing Ray is located on will result in losing the mutation's abilities until the limb is restored.

If a creature somehow has multiple Freezing Rays, the damage increase is only +1 for each additional iteration.[1]
