An Oversized CodexFront
A book, about 2 feet by 3 feet, just over 6 inches tall when closed. The cover is made of silvery cedarwood planks. The sheets are made of fine vellum, stretched from the hides of some enormous beast.
The pages are full of calligraphy, large and precise, with many diagrams showing meditative poses and strange geometric patterns related to heat, water, and ice.

Ice WeavingReverse
When you will dark ice to form, lose 1 HP, +1 HP for each of the following you desire:
- It's enough to make a small wall or encase a person (else, it's ◇◇ at most)
- It's hard as stone
- It's solid to spirits, able to block/harm/ hinder them Then, roll +CON: on a 10+, pick 2; on a 7-9, pick 1, or pick 2 and lose 2 more HP.
- It forms quickly, even violently (else, it takes minutes, even hours)
- It forms at up to near range (else, it forms at only hand range)
- Its shape is as intricate as you can imagine (else, it's just a crude block)
- The ice persists until it's broken, melted by intense heat, or you let it melt. You cannot regain the spent HP while it persists.
