[FOCI]
Translation Codex
Associated with Strangers who are cold and calculating in their demeanor or inner life, this is the Focus of the heartless bastard. And yet I have a certain respect for those who possess the strength of will to command this much control over themselves and their environment. Their chilly nature spills out into the recursion that empowers them in this way, spreading their coldness like a growing patch of ice. A cold both in the mind and in the world.
The ice your mere touch creates actually helps you out, providing an asset on your next physical roll, such as climbing or running.
You freeze your target in place, making them immobile for one round.
Your mere touch can freeze any standing water you touch, up to an Immediate distance away from you. You can usually control this. Additionally, you possess Armor 3 against cold based attacks and weather.
You make an unarmed attack, dealing 3 ambient damage as you freeze your target while simultaneously robbing them of all emotion.
You drop the temperature in the area significantly, doing 2 ambient cold damage to everyone within Immediate range (they don't get a defense roll). The area becomes icy, increasing the difficulty of all movement related tasks by two. This effect lasts for ten rounds.
Action to initiate.
You make an unarmed attack against a foe. They freeze solid for one round, during which time they cannot act or move.

Action to initiate.
