950-1050 and a loss of 3 pips (potentially up to 6). WOW! Really? This spell does not seem fair for a low cost of 10 pips they do strong damage and that killer affect effect. Why do attacks have so much power behind them now?
I don't see why this is in the suggestions forum, but it's not overpowered when compared to the other rank 10 spells. For Ice to really do any damage with it they need loads of blades and traps and a lot of rounds to power up.
I still say this after effect and the damage is too powerful for a Rank 10 spell. If this side effect remains in tact the damage should be lower. This spell should have a pip Rank of at least 12. The mana burn afterwards is far too much for the cost. Entirely too much.
