A cold hand touch causes 1 point of damage to any touched target, plus 1 point per level of its caster to a maximum of 21 points of damage. No saving throw is allowed against the magic, but natural or magical resistance to cold can reduce damage by as much as half (and in some exceptional cases to nothing).
Notes: Granted by Auril Frostmaiden of the Forgotten Realms setting. This spell is found only in a few exceptionally rare tomes.
