#16: Frostep
Invented by: modification of Subzero Step by Miqo Morquela
Type: Utility
Complexity: Medium-low (C3)
We use it for: walking on water
Appearance: blue-white, opaque, hint of silvery meniscus around the edges of the glass, viscosity slightly above water.
Taste: milk and ice, very cold.
Effect: causes the lower limbs to radiate an intense cold that will flash freeze water just before contact, producing ice and therefore a solid surface to stand on. Will freeze other liquids, but results not guaranteed as other types of ice do not always behave as water ice does.
Notes
- I created this modification to fix the contact problem with Subzero Step. Your foot actually had to touch the water before it would freeze, but that resulted in a crusting effect where it would freeze to your shoe or foot, and you had to wriggle a bit to break loose. With Frostep, the water freezes in the half-second before contact, so your foot doesn't end up encrusted on the ice surface. -Miqo
- Works better in winter - the water is already cold, so it freezes faster and stays frozen longer. -Kitty
