Can we get a little look-see?

Thanks!

Why on earth would you be using Frostbite for knockdown? Even capped at 50%, the fatigue drain hits like a sack of barbarians in combat 3.0 and we have much better knockdown spells.

The spell causes things to collapse as part of its budgeted effect. If its going to keep that, it'd be nice to count on it holding longer than the 3 second RT you get for casting it?

I thought the "magic comments" page was for bugs not commentary, but I guess the title of the page says otherwise.

Armor boosts are useful even after the hinderance point because they're involved in defensive checks and a successful one results in protection boost, right?

The balance loss + brief stamina penalty + massive offense and defense penalty from having no fatigue are more than enough oomph for this spell. Especially now that it can be single targeted and no longer affects the caster. Yes, we probably should remove the knockdown but we have bigger things to address at present.
