# Frigid blade

Evocation cantrip  
Casting Time: 1 action  
Range: Self (5-foot radius)  
Components: V, M (melee weapon)  
Duration: 1 round  
As part of the action used to cast this spell, you must  
make a melee attack with a weapon against one  
creature within the spell’s range, otherwise the spell  
fails. On a hit, the attack does damage as normal,  
except that the entire attack deals cold damage  
instead of its normal type. Additionally, the target is  
covered in a brittle frost until the start of your next  
turn. If the target willingly moves before then, you  
can use your reaction to deal 1d8 cold damage to the  
target, ending the spell.  
At 5th level, the melee attack and secondary  
damage each deal an additional 1d8 cold damage.  
Both damage rolls increase by 1d8 at 11th level  
(2d8/3d8), and 17th level (3d8/4d8).
