Damage: (level based)
Cooldown: 20 rounds
Melee attacks cool opponents by -(level based) degrees

Freezing Ray is a physical mutation that grants the icy vapor natural body equipment on the limb of your choosing, allowing you to emit a freezing ray from that limb. On character creation, the player can Customize to select between the Hands, Feet, and Face.

Hitting a creature with a freezing ray deals Cold damage and forces a Temperature change of -120 - 7 * (Mutation Level). If the user hits a target with a melee attack instead, they will 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.
