Sculpt Ice and Snow (Sp)

At 4th level, a winter witch can sculpt ice and snow into any shape that suits her purpose (as stone shape, except that it works with ice). This ability also works on snow, doubling the volume affected. At 7th level, this ability functions on ice or snow like the fabricate spell, increasing the volume manipulated and allowing a higher degree of craftsmanship. The winter witch must succeed at appropriate Craft checks to form complex items or ones with fine detail. Items created by the fabricate version of this ability solidify into ultra-hard ice (hardness 5, 10 hit points per inch of thickness) that resists normal melting but takes double damage from fire. The ice remains in this ultra-hard state for 1 hour per class level before returning to normal ice. A winter witch can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 1/2 her class level.

Bonus Hexes: At 5th level and every two levels thereafter, a winter witch gains the following major hexes in addition to those gained from normal advancement: 5th—ice tomb, 7th—hoarfrost, 9th—numbing chill (see below). If a winter witch already has this hex, she may instead gain any other hex she meets the prerequisites for.
