Official Move Approval IV

[Summer]

T1 Super Defense: Cold Snap (Area Shield) (600): The chill of winter rapidly wells up from Somerled’s very core, swelling up in a frozen blast. Over the course of about three seconds, the spirit freezes up from the inside, his entire body quickly icing through, essentially becoming a humanoid chunk of frozen meat, rigid and stuck in whatever unfortunate pose he happened to freeze in. This cold snap spreads out beyond his body, bringing a sudden and early frost to the world around. Though freezing over does prevent him from moving or thinking, having such a solid form also protects him from a decent amount of damage until he defrosts. The thaw begins either ten seconds after the initial freeze, or after he's tanked a Tier 1 Super worth of damage, and takes about two seconds until he'd completely de-iced. During this warming period he is still vulnerable, unable to move and quickly returning to his normal squishiness. Even though this attack does bring an early winter, if only for a short time until the climate rights itself again, it's basically just cold air and a bit of frost, having no effect outside of disturbing the weather.
