## Snowcasting
*You add ice or snow to your spell's components to make them more powerful.*
**Prerequisite:** Con 13
**Benefit:** If you add a handful of snow or ice as an additional material component to a spell when you cast it.
If the spell already has the cold descriptor, you increase the effective level of the spell being cast by +1. If the spell does not already have the cold descriptor, it gains the cold descriptor. This does not actually change the nature of the spell you cast, but allows you to use abilities that are tied to spells with that descriptor, such as [[Cold Focus]] and [[Frozen Magic]].
Adding this additional material component requires you to spend a move action immediately before the spell is cast to gather fresh snow or ice from the surrounding environment.
This feat cannot be used on spells that deal only fire damage or have the fire descriptor.
