Potion of Frost

A Potion of Frost is a type of potion in Remixed Dungeon that creates a freezing effect when exposed to air.

When shattered, the potion creates a freezing cloud that affects all creatures within 2 tiles of the impact point:

• Freeze: Creatures are frozen in place, unable to move or act
• Area of Effect: The freezing cloud affects all creatures within 2 tiles of the impact point
• Duration: Creatures remain frozen until the effect wears off or is cleared

• When shattered at any location, creates an area of effect based on distance map
• Uses PathFinder.buildDistanceMap to calculate affected area

• Freezing effect is applied to each affected tile using Freezing.affect()
• According to string resources: “Upon exposure to open air, this chemical will evaporate into a freezing cloud, causing any creature that contacts it to be frozen in place, unable to act and move.”
