Resist Frost M% for D seconds

Increase the target's resistance to Frost Damage. A target with '50% Resist Frost will effectively half any frost damage it takes. All frost damage is nullified at 100%. The resist frost effect must be applied before frost damage, so if for any reason they are combined into a single effect, the target will take full frost damage.

It is possible, although unnecessary, to have a higher than 100% resistance to frost. The most common ways are through potions and enchanted items. It can be raised through Weakness to Magic, but only if a negative effect is applied in the same spell as the Resist Frost, as positive effects alone are not affected by Weakness to Magic effects.

The Frost Ring provides 100% Resist Frost.

[edit] Notes

This effect is not normally available as a spell. However, it is possible to gain access to it through special racial powers, in which case custom spells can be created. The only race that provides access to Resist Frost are Nords.
This effect is also available from Doomstones, in particular from the Lord Stone's (map) greater power, Ysmir's Scales.
