It'll cause a lot of problems and even a slice to the arm has a good chance of incapacitating or killing you through various means, but not the pressure. | |
| Aug 12, 2020 at 13:28 | comment | added | Trioxidane | @Demigan If you have a slice of you frozen from your kidney to your spine I'm pretty sure any blood clotting or restricting blood flow will be useless. Only in the extremities except for the head blood restricting/clotting would help. | |

The expansion of frozen water inside the blood would be nasty but not deadly. That said its likely pieces of the frozen part would break off and cause embolisms elsewhere. If you dont die you would be incapacitated and likely die from infections of limbs and pieces that die off | |

I'll be sure to make this specialized weapon of one particular character instead of a mass producable one - maybe adding a requirement of for it to be held by a capable/compatible user. | |

| Aug 12, 2020 at 10:46 | comment | added | votbear | Thank you for the answer. It is indeed far too deadly for my liking - I'd much prefer it if this was a weapon that would slowly sap the strength of the enemy or cause internal damage, and will be devastating over multiple activations instead of a one shot kill. How much temperature drop do you think is the limit to make it have an impact on the human body, but not outright cause instant devastation? what about ~15/20C per activation, with ~10s cooldown per activation? | |
| Aug 12, 2020 at 10:41 | comment | added | Trioxidane | @LiJun a normal arrow or crossbow bolt is plenty deadly. I wouldn't use a magic weapon like that as it seems to be a huge cost to make something that is very deadly even more deadly. In addition, you might miss, making the cost a great waste. So I would use it only if it's incredibly abundant. | |
