DESCRIPTION

The target and its equipment are frozen solid, becoming a physically inert statue of ice. If the target is broken or damaged while frozen, it suffers similar damage or deformity when returned to a non-frozen original state. While the target cannot move, mental activity does not cease and the target still registers as alive for spells such as deathwatch. Dispel magic cannot end this spell, although casting both it and remove curse allow the target to speak (but not move or cast spells) for 1 round per caster level. Break enchantment or more potent magic is needed to free a creature from the ice.

If prolonged imprisonment occurs (such as that lasting multiple months), at the GM's discretion, a target might suffer from madness or despair. Creatures imprisoned indefinitely with this spell receive a new Fortitude save each month.
