How exactly does falling frost work? The description says that agile units can avoid being hit.

And how does it scale in size and damage? Is it +1 square and +1 dmg per extra level?

I think the agile units bit might just be fluff. If not it'll be a def check much like earthquake.

defense works against falling frost.
At least jag warriors seem rarely to be bothered by it.

Falling frost is to falling fires as frost brand is to fire brand.

Why do you not close this thread and talk about falling frost somewhere else. This seems to be terribly off topic.

Is it? How can one say if astral magic is overpowered or not without considering the strengths and weaknesses of the other paths? That's how the discussion moved on to falling frost.

Yes, and once it moved away it is a new topic. Noone is referring to the original post any more.

And now it is turning into a meta discussion about what is and is not "on topic"...

Should the discussion in the thread be solely on the issue of the first post, or evolve around the original idea? Derailing/hijacking threads such as this is not necessarily a bad thing in my opinion.

There's definitely a difference between hijacking and evolving. I don't think anyone is trying to push their own agenda here so I don't think there's a problem. The original post has been well responded to at this point also.
