For the spell in Dragon Age: Inquisition, see Blizzard (Inquisition).

Blizzard is a mage spell from the Primal tree in Dragon Age: Origins.

Information

Area of effect: 10m sphere.
Deals (10 + 0.1 * spellpower) cold damage; at interval(s): 2.05, 30; over duration: 1.5s.
Creatures entering the AOE:
- Slip if Physical Resistance check is failed.
- Movement speed penalty: 20%.
- Defense bonus: 10.
- Fire resistance bonus: 50.
Creatures in the AOE 8s after the spell was cast:
- Paralyzed for 4s (duration adjusted by target rank) if Physical Resistance check is failed.
- Party members are slowed by 50% instead of being paralyzed.
Overall duration: 30s.
Range: 25m.
Conjuration time: 2s.
Spell combinations: Flame Quencher, Storm of the Century.

Notes

Activation base is in mana and values vary with fatigue%.
Arcane Warrior spellcasting: the spell requires be cast with your weapon(s) sheathed.
The damage from Blizzard is applied in a special way. Instead of directly applying the damage at each interval, an over duration-type effect is applied.
Blizzard can be cast on creatures or locations not in line of sight. A mage can cast this spell on creatures in a different room when using the overhead view. This allows the mage to stay out of physical harm by staying out of reach of those creatures.
