What's 'Breath of winter' anyway?

You don't know? It's an infamous spell.

Now, if it had been written 'breath of Winter'...

Speaking of the spell, I think this means that Breath of Winter doesn't deal actual damage anymore. That would get rid of the problem of frail mages freezing each other to death, at least.

It'd be nice to have unique seasonal summons. The summoning spell could only be cast at middle winter/fall/summer/spring.

Oh, sorry about that. Had a mind fart there.

If Breath of Winter doesn't do damage anymore, what possible uses for it?

Same as before - (mostly) none.

I'm saddened how there is no love for restricted spells or explorable magic sites.

I thought it only did damage in an area around the caster. What other effects did it have?

It's currently the single best damage spell a SC can use, so I wouldn't exactly call it useless.

Biggest source of friendly fire, too.

Considering in the last game I played, Nycafor killed about 250 units with BoW and 100 with his hands, I'd also have to join the "It was far from useless" crowd. With this change, Arch Devils (Fire Shield) might eclipse Ice Devils as the preeminant blood SCs.

Maybe the message means it adds to chill effect and not heat effect...
