Cryogenic Barrier

	Cryogenic Barrier
	Metathermics (45 skill required)
Causes shards of ice to be formed from the water taken from the primary target tile that deal 21-34 cold and 17-24 mechanical damage to all characters on those tiles. If the tile is traversable and empty, an ice barrier will be left behind that has 65 health and lasts 3 turns or until destroyed. The barrier has 100% resistance to bio, cold and electrical damage, and 16% / 5 to mechanical damage. Targets that suffer cold damage will also become chilled. Chilled characters have their movement points decreased by 10 for 2 turns. This effect stacks 3 times.

Cryogenic Barrier is a Metathermics psi ability the player can learn from a Psionic Mentor.

It creates a barrier of ice on targeted water tiles. Created ice works similarly to Force Field and prevents from targeting anything behind it, however destroying one piece will not cause other parts of the barrier to go down.

Cryogenic Barrier Segments will have 100% resistance to Cold, Bio and Electricity damage regardless of effective skill.
