Making a refined blade out of ice takes skill. Striking with one is by comparison easy.
A more refined version of Ice Smash, this maneuver creates a razor-sharp blade of ice which extends past your weapon. You make an attack with an additional 5-ft of reach. This attack deals half slashing half cold damage instead of its normal damage type and its critical thread modifier becomes 15-20/x2. This overlaps with the weapon's original critical threat range, so to say a 20/x3 weapon threatens a x3 critical on a roll of 20 and an x2 critical on a roll of 16. After the attack is resolved, the blade shatters into pieces.
If used with a Dire Winter discipline weapon, you instead have an additional 10-ft of reach from this maneuver.
