Description

A frigid globe of cold energy streaks from your fingertips to a point of your choice within range, where it explodes in a 60-foot-radius sphere. Each creature within the area must make a Constitution saving throw, taking 10d6 Cold damage on a failed save or half as much on a successful one. If the globe strikes a body of water, it freezes the water to a depth of 6 inches over an area 30 feet square. This ice lasts for 1 minute. You can refrain from firing the globe after completing the spell's casting. A small globe about the size of a sling stone cools in your hand. At any time, you or a creature you give it to can throw the globe (to a range of 40 feet) or hurl it with a sling (to the sling's normal range). It shatters on impact, with the same effect as the normal casting of the spell.

The damage increases by 1d6 for each spell slot level above 6.
