You cause up to five finger-width lances of ice to sprout from your fingertips in the direction of a single target. Each lance inflicts 2d8 points of damage and one lance can be invoked for every two levels of the spell caster. Any target struck which fails its saving throw has been pierced through by the ice lances, which then continue and strike any target directly beyond, up to their maximum range of five feet per caster level. Targets which successfully save suffer only half damage and are not pierced through, thus stopping the lances from continuing to other targets. Having struck their target the ice then shatters and falls to the ground.
Material Component: An icicle. This material component is optional. If you hold an icicle in one hand while you cast this spell you do an additional +2 points of damage per lance created.
