Ring of Ice

Spell, Elemental Magic, level 4

Rings the caster with a thick wall of magical ice that must be chopped through or climbed with difficulty.

From the book

The caster is surrounded by a ring of magical ice 10 ft. in radius, 10 ft. high and 2 ft. thick. Getting through it means at least 20 minutes of chopping with edged weapons, though several people working together can split that time between them. Climbing over instead requires three successive saves vs Dexterity. No other save applies.

A scene

The rock trolls had followed the witch Astrid down from the Rhiphaen heights, and now there were six of them and one of her. She planted her feet and the air cracked: a wall of blue ice leapt up in a ring around her, twice the height of a man and thick as a doorway. The trolls began to chop at it with their stone axes, shards flying. One troll alone would need twenty minutes to hack through; six working together would need barely four, if they ever thought to cooperate. They squabbled instead. One tried climbing, made it halfway up on the third attempt, and slid all the way down.
