Winter Freeze	Freezes liquid water in radius around caster, extending vertically rank+1 inches higher and lower than the caster's body. The flat upper and lower limits creates a smooth surface of ice to walk on if the caster walks from land onto water, even on flowing rivers or tossing surf. Weight able to support is directly related to thickness of the ice. Ice melts naturally after rank rounds once it leaves the area of effect. The ice is slippery making travel across it cost an additional +1 speed for each yard traveled, however while this spell is active the caster is immune to movement penalties from snow or ice.

Hold back the River	Ritual that compels river water spirits to dam up the river across a Rank x 10 yard gap, rank x10 yards high. If this is bounded by objects or terrain to complete a dam, water will pile behind it and begin filling like a reservoir, eventually cresting when appropriate. If this is not bounded to create a dam, the river may be redirected or overflow spillage to the sides well outside it's normal banks. A dam created in this fashion can support the weight of all of the water it is holding back, but is not otherwise an obstacle other than would normally be created by an air to water transition.
