Effect	The channeler expends mana to cause a surge in the storm covering an area for Rank minutes before returning to its previous state. Within this space, the caster may alter the temperature of the weather by up to Rank Steps and begins precipitation (if it was not already present) upon casting. The effects of this spell depend upon the temperature and last for the duration of the surge, applying their effects each round. In freezing or cold weather, one stack of Frost is applied. In warm or hot weather, the air is charged with electricity and applies Shock. In temperate weather, unpredictable gusts of wind provide a Rank speed penalty to all affected in reach of the storm. All targets in the area are Blinded (suffering -6 to skill rolls relying on sight) by the onslaught of rain or snow, and treated as having heavy cover (-6 penalty) for those outside of the area.
