"Manual of Arcane Mysteries": Water-Divine Ice Talisman

Spell name: Divine Ice Talisman

Basic attributes: Intermediate water-element talisman spell

Spell category: Offensive spell; the Celestial Master Order's Orthodox Unity Heavenly Gang Talisman Art

Affiliation: The Celestial Master Order of Mount Heming

Brief description: A water-element offensive talisman spell; wherever the ice talisman strikes, an aura of utmost cold instantly coalesces, powerful enough to cleave boulders and split stone, freezing and destroying anything to which the talisman paper adheres.

Spell weaknesses: If the target flits about unpredictably, it is difficult to affix the talisman accurately. If the target possesses a fire-element magical treasure, it can partially offset or completely negate the freezing damage caused by this spell.

Recorded appearance: In Chapter 3 of Volume Six, "Clouds Soar and Swords Dance, Heroes Range a Thousand Miles," Sheng Hengtang, a disciple of the Celestial Master Order, demonstrated this spell for the Commandery Soldiers at the request of Bao Chuxiong, commandant of Nanhai Commandery. The talisman shot forth like lightning, and a granite millstone split apart with a crack; its four fragments were almost identical in size, as though a cross dividing it into equal quarters had been painstakingly measured out on its surface, then cleaved along those lines by a divine blade or a spirit's axe!
