Targets break Concentration when becoming Prone. While Prone they cannot perform [[Action|Actions]], [[Bonus Action|Bonus actions]], or [[Reaction (Combat)|Reactions]].
This condition causes Targets to role with Disadvantage on Dexterity Saving Throws, and when there are more than 7 turns remaining of 'Encrusted with Frost' the Target has to make Constitution Saving Throws to avoid taking {{DamageType|Cold}} damage and becoming Frozen. This condition is useful to make targets more vulnerable to becoming Prone on Ice Surfaces.

|Targets who pass through are inflicted with Icy Cloud that deals {{DamageText|10d6 (10~60)|Cold}} damage, per turn
Steam Cloud is a valuable Surface to inflict the Wet Status on Targets making it highly useful when dealing {{DamageType|Cold}} damage. Steam Clouds can be created by igniting Water Surfaces with {{DamageType|Fire}} damage. Water Surfaces naturally form from Ice Surfaces that melt after 2 Rounds or after being hit by {{DamageType|Fire}} damage.
