An intensely bright streak flashes from your pointing finger to a point you choose within range and then blooms into a bright blue orb. Each creature in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on that point must make a Dexterity saving throw. A target takes 8d6 cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The cold spreads around corners.

It freezes small amounts of nonmagical liquids in the area that aren't being worn or carried.
