I’m surprised there isn’t a suggestion for Dry Ice magic.
It’s an overpowered idea. Regular ice is cold at 32°F. Dry ice is extremely cold at -109°F.
Since dry ice is composed of carbon dioxide, it sublimates by releasing gas. If enough carbon dioxide gas is present, a person can become unconscious, and in some cases, die.
Dry Ice Mechanics
- Dry Ice Magic applies the Freezing status effect.
- After 4 hits, the next hit by Dry Ice Magic will do 1.5x damage and give the target Frostbite, if the target is still freezing.
- The Frostbite status effect, applied by Dry Ice Magic, weakens heat-based and liquid magics, but synergizes with cold and liquid magics, increasing their damage and freezing targets. Similar to the Burning status effect, it does damage over time.
- [Maybe] Leaves clouds of gas on contact. If enough gas is present, the target will not be able to replenish magic energy or stamina.
- [Maybe] Leaves rubbles of dry ice which gives off gas that goes away very slowly.
