This spell makes the recipient immune to damage from cold environments and resistant to sources of extreme cold damage.

The recipient is immune to cold damage or cold effects from: cold weather down to 0°F., contact with normal ice or natural freezing objects, and hypothermia effects of cold liquid.

The recipient gains a +3 bonus to saving throws against very cold or magical cold and such damage does only half damage (save for 25% damage, if applicable). Examples are: spells with the cold descriptor (e.g. cone of cold), magical cold rays, winter wolf or white dragon breath, etc.

A recipient's gear is also immune to cold damage or freezing. Even a recipient that fails a saving throw versus cold damage or is subject to a cold effect with no save will not need to make saving throws for their items against frost/cold damage.

Material Components. A pinch of sulphur. There are approximately 25 pinches to an ounce (there will be some waste). The component is consumed in the casting of the spell. Cost/Scarcity. 5 g.p. per ounce/Common;

Known Additions/Substitutions. Demon ichor, efreeti spit, or (freely given) fire elemental ash increase the save to +5 and reduce the damage by 1 per die (minimum 0).
