Avowed Has A Spell That Lets You Walk On Water

Summary

  • An Avowed player has discovered that a certain spell lets you briefly walk across water.
  • Bristling Frost, which is primarily used for damage reduction, allows you to apply an ice shield that will also freeze any water that you stand on.

Since its debut, Avowed has sparked debate and divided opinions, even becoming a focal point for an ongoing “anti-progressive” movement. However, there’s one aspect where everyone seems to concur – the game boasts some truly captivating magical elements that players can exploit in imaginative ways.

Example: There’s a protective spell named Bristling Frost, which envelopes you with an ice barrier that decreases the damage you sustain by 10%, while simultaneously adding frost damage to any close-combat adversaries. It serves as a useful defensive strategy in emergencies, but a player found out that it has a secret consequence that makes perfect sense once you ponder it.

Avowed Has A Spell That Lets You Walk On Water

According to Twitter user DaveOshry, if you cast the Bristling Frost spell and then leap into any body of water, you’ll soon find that you can effortlessly traverse the water’s surface. This is clearly shown in DaveOshry’s video (available for viewing above), where they first use the spell, then plunge into a lake, and subsequently leave an extensive trail of ice in their wake.

This side effect isn’t particularly practical, given that the ability to walk on water lasts only about 20 seconds. However, it offers an easy means to traverse large bodies of water if you prefer not to swim, or even provide a creative escape route in challenging situations by dashing into any nearby body of water. Regardless, it’s an intriguing find and further evidence of Avowed’s sophisticated magical system.

In the upcoming weeks, it’s likely we’ll discover additional interesting applications of the magic system in Avowed, yet it’s important to note that this magic system doesn’t have the capability to harm chickens. Skyrim players might recall unintentionally causing a chicken’s demise and being met with wrath by the entire village, but there’s no such risk in Avowed.
