|rules=A frigid globe of cold energy streaks from your fingertips to a point of your choice within range, where it explodes in a 60-foot-radius {{srd5lc|Sphere}}. Each creature within the area must make a {{SRD5|Constitution}} {{srd5lc|Saving Throw}}. On a failed save, a creature takes 10d6 {{srd5lc|Cold}} damage. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage. 

If the globe 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 30 feet square. This ice lasts for 1 {{srd5lc|Minute}}. Creatures that were swimming on the surface of frozen water are trapped in the ice. A trapped creature can use an action to make a {{SRD5|Strength}} check against your spell save {{SRD5|DC}} to break free. 

You can refrain from firing the globe after completing the spell, if you wish. A small globe about the size of a sling stone, cool to the touch, appears in your hand. At any time, you or a creature you give the globe to can throw the globe (to a range of 40 feet) or hurl it with a {{srd5lc|Sling}} (to the sling’s normal range). It shatters on impact, with the same effect as the normal casting of the spell. You can also set the globe down without shattering it. After 1 minute, if the globe hasn’t already shattered, it explodes. <!-- main spell desc -->
|higherlevels=When you cast this spell using a {{srd5lc|Spell Slot}} of 7th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 6th.
