A brilliant blue-white ray of bitter cold springs from the caster's hand toward a single creature.

The caster must make a ranged touch attack to strike the target. On a successful hit, the ray deals 1d6 points of cold damage per caster level, to a maximum of 15d6.

Creatures immune to cold suffer no damage. Creatures possessing resistance to cold apply that resistance normally.

The ray freezes moisture along its path, leaving a brief trail of frost and ice crystals in the air.

Notes 

• A powerful spell used by cryomancers and certain druid circles that deal in the northern circles, Polar Ray is a damaging cold-based spell that is capable of encasing targets when reducing the 0 HP, allowing the possibility to take prisoners, provided the mage has an ability to heal the targets once the encasing ice melts.
• The passing beam is said to be able to douse torches, snuff candles, and crack lantern glass as it whistles by to strike its target. 
• Sometimes known as Melf's Polar Ray and is possibly one of the secret spells that the gray elf developed. He is currently in a naming rights dispute with Rabni the Elder thus the use of the spells 'generic spell' over any attribution.
