Caustic Frost weapons make the cold/acid weapon enhancements grow with power with every strike. Caustic Frost can only be placed on weapons which possess some form of a cold and a acid weapon enhancement. For each cumulative hit the weapon deals in a round, its cold/acid damage is increased by +1d6 points. For example a freezing corrosive longsword would deal 1d8 slashing and 1d6 cold/acid on its first hit, 1d8 slashing and 2d6 cold/acid on the second hit, 1d8 slashing and 3d6 cold/acid on the third hit, and so forth. Burst effects are similarly multiplied, such as dealing 3d10 points of damage on the third hit if it is a confirmed critical.

Note that elemental resistances/immunities only apply to this damage if there is both a cold and a acid resistance/immunity (immunities may be crossed with resistances). For example, an individual who is immune to cold and is hit with 3 cold/acid damage, still takes 3 damage. If the individual has resist cold 5 and resist acid 2 and is hit with 3 cold/acid damage, they resist 2 damage (lowering both the cold and the acid resistance by 2 each) and take the final 1 damage. Combined with an immunity to cold or acid and a resistance, treat the resistance as normal.

Caustic Frost weapons are immune to cold and acid damage. They obtain a suffusive blue mist that thickens around the weapon the more times you strike with it. Only attacks made by the weapon count towards increasing its damage, attacks by other weapons do not increase the total.

Strong Evocation; CL 13th; Craft Magic Arms and Armor, at least one fourth level or above cold and acid spell; Price: +1.
