Blizzard

Master spell: a huge ice storm around you that hurts everything for 10 seconds.

Blizzard summons a massive ice storm centred on you. Everything inside takes 20 frost damage per second for ten seconds, plus Stamina damage – including your followers and even yourself. Think of it as a giant, short-lived Frost Cloak.

Tips

Weakness to Frost poisons on your arrows make it hit even harder. If you’d rather not hurt yourself, Fire Storm is the safer choice.
