Frostbound

I couldn't let Austin have all the fun and standing still in the gateway wasn't the smartest spot on the battlefield to be.

After the initial surprise wore off, attacks began washing over me again, only this time with fewer numbers.

The defenders were split between attacking the spear-wielding light show or the man covered in ice doing nothing. It wasn't hard to guess who they went after first.

With my main weapon gone, I almost thought to resort to fisticuffs before I stopped. My hammer took hours to make and it wasn't something I could just whip up but I could still do a little something.

I could make a lesser version but it would most likely just break again returning me to the same dilemma. With that in mind, I did something different.

While working to make a new weapon, it didn't stop me from joining the fight. Without the need to hold 6 skills active at the same time, I shifted what skills I was using around.

[Fury(Un)] and [Avalanche(R)] were a given but the rest were free to switch around.

[Permafrost(Un)] blasted out of me with a decent amount of mana drastically lowering the temperature near me before [Hail(C)] started falling to hasten the effect.

I used [Ice Manipulation(C)] to pick up the pieces of hail before sending them spinning around me. My tried and true method.

With enough ice formed [Hail(C)] ended, freeing up something else to use.

[Ice Arrows(Un)] were launched at any and all near me that I wasn't attacking with my snowflakes.

I threw up an [Ice Wall(Un)] in front of a trio of charging warriors before using [Shatter(Un)]. Ice shards exploded out skewering the trio dead.
