''Freezing sphere ''creates a frigid globe of cold energy that streaks from your fingertips to the location you select, where it explodes in a 10-foot-radius burst, dealing 1d6 points of cold damage per [[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]] (maximum 15d6) to each creature in the area. An [[SRD:Elemental Type|elemental]] (water) creature instead takes 1d8 points of cold damage per [[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]] (maximum 15d8).

If the ''freezing sphere ''strikes a body of water or a liquid that is principally water (not including water-based creatures), it freezes the liquid to a depth of 6 inches over an area equal to 100 square feet (a 10- foot square) per [[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]] (maximum 1,500 square feet). This ice lasts for 1 [[SRD:Round|round]] per [[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]]. Creatures that were swimming on the surface of frozen water become trapped in the ice. Attempting to break free is a [[SRD:Full-Round Actions|full-round action]]. A trapped creature must make a [[SRD:DC|DC]] 25 [[SRD:Strength Check|Strength check]] or a [[SRD:DC|DC]] 25 [[SRD:Escape Artist Skill|Escape Artist]] check to do so.

You can refrain from firing the globe after completing the spell, if you wish. Treat this as a touch spell for which you are holding the charge. You can hold the charge for as long as 1 [[SRD:Round|round]] per level, at the end of which time the ''freezing sphere ''bursts centered on you (and you receive no [[SRD:Saving Throw|saving throw]] to resist its effect). Firing the globe in a later [[SRD:Round|round]] is a [[SRD:Standard Actions|standard action]].
