By weaving his affinity with the Elemental Plane of Water into a haunting, arcane melody this spell's caster is able to grant everyone who hears it a measure of cold resistance – or, by allowing the song to take on a more vindictive character, inflict additional Cold Damage on those who are already suffering. When used offensively, Winter Song inflicts the listed damage on anyone who currently has a Cold Penalty, while in its beneficial mode it provides a Physique bonus against the effects of cold (including Cold-type damage).

Freezing Damage (offensive mode only): Power x 8 Internal Cold (only affects those already suffering from a Cold Penalty)
Physique Bonus vs Cold (including Cold Damage, defensive mode only): +25% x Power (round up)
