Jhanifer's deliquescence (Alteration) Level: 5 Comp.: V,S,M Range: Touch CT: 1 round Duration: Perm. Save: Special Area of Effect: 10 cu. feet/lvl. This spell enables a wizard to instantly melt ice, frozen liquids, and other substances that freeze within 100 of water's freezing point (320 F). Such melting does not involve heat, steam, or the consumption of fuel. A wall of ice, for instance, could be turned into water that falls to the ground, and a frozen lock or sleigh runner could be freed. Repeated applications of this spell have been known to turn solids into liquid form, and 10 deliquescence spells equal the effects of transmute rock to mud. The details of this use of the spell are little known and poorly understood. (The DM should sharply limit the combat effectiveness of dissolving solids, although a mage could use the spell repeatedly to escape from a stone-walled cell.) Animated or enchanted stone creatures, such as stone golems, receive a saving throw vs. spells equal to the saving throw (at the time) of the being who enchanted them, as do all stone or other solid objects bearing a dweomer If successful, that application of the spell does not affect them and is entirely wasted. Living creatures, even if stony, are unaffected by this spell. The material components of this spell are a tiny piece of amber and a piece of ice.
