Depends on the fight. Boxing rounds tend to last like 3 minutes irl. I tend to balance moves more around "how much are they gaining" rather than "how much of a post/round could this last". You're holding down the fort over here, and you're not bad with moves - there are just things you pick up over time and some things that are easy to forget. For example, the timing thing is actually mentioned on the move rules page:
Quote:We always prefer descriptions to be as literal as possible. Saying "this lasts a round" is very vague because depending on the writers, post length et cetera, a "round" might be 1 minute or 10 minutes. Therefore, put durations in literal time.
Anyway, I think a couple of minutes for Weiss's ice move is fine because:

>Weiss is affected by it as well
