Ice Breath is an offensive ice spell, and a racial perk for Yeti. As such, a Yeti can choose to gain it as a perk upon character creation. If a Yeti chooses to gain this perk at some point after creation, the perk costs 15 rupees less than the listed cost. The natural physiology of the Yeti race enables some of them to use this spell easily. Because of this, a Yeti can treat Ice Breath as either a spell or technique. A Yeti which is able to do this naturally is usually referred to as a "Yook."

To begin casting this spell, the user merely needs to take an extremely deep breath, usually taking more than a full second and a bending of the back. The user then exhales not mere air, but freezing gusts, which can usually travel a distance equal to approximately half the user's height, and last as long as the user can blow. This air is extremely cold, to the point it can freeze fluids or cause considerable damage to victims in its path. Because of the requirement to breath heavily, it is difficult to use this spell repeatedly in the midst of battle. The caster takes no damage from the cold she produces in this way, even if the gusts are redirected back towards her.

If the user has a Specialty in Ice, she never needs to pay more than 40 rupees for this spell.
