You instantly freeze all moisture in the air around you. Each creature of your choice within the area must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, a target takes 12d10 cold damage and is paralyzed inside a shell of interlocking ice crystals. On a successful save, a target takes half as much damage and isn’t paralyzed.

Another creature within reach can use its action to break away the ice from a paralyzed creature, ending the spell for that creature. In a freezing environment, the ice persists until destroyed or dispelled, otherwise it typically melts after 1 hour in a temperate climate.
