The Scroll of Frost Nova is a well-known spell among mages who specialize in elemental magic. It is said that the spell was first discovered by an ancient mage in Kalamar who spent many years studying the mysteries of ice and snow. According to legend, the mage was traveling through a harsh, frozen plains of Kalamar when he stumbled upon a cave that was filled with ice crystals. As he studied the crystals, he began to feel a strange power coursing through his body. Suddenly, he was hit by a blast of cold air that left him gasping for breath.

But despite the danger, the wizard was determined to learn the secrets of the ice crystals. He spent many months studying them, experimenting with different spells and incantations until he finally discovered the magic that would become known as the Frost Nova. Over time, the spell spread to other mages who studied elemental magic, and it soon became a staple of their repertoire. However, many mages warn against using the spell indiscriminately, as the power of the Frost Nova can be unpredictable and dangerous in the wrong hands. Some even believe that the spell is cursed, that its magic comes from Roahirii, and that those who use it too often will be doomed to a frozen, isolated existence.

Effect: This scroll contains a spell that creates a sudden blast of icy cold, freezing enemies in their tracks. The spell deals 6d8 cold damage to all creatures in a 15-foot radius and they must make a Constitution saving throw or be stunned for one round.
