This gift allows a character to transmute herself, and any clothing or unliving objects s/he's touching, into a crystalline creature of impenetrable ice. As the Wendigo's form grows suddenly transparent and metamorphoses into a rippling mobile statue, s/he truly takes on the essence of ice; as a result, s/he should avoid coming near any fire or source of heat, lest she find herself melting. Her body absorbs blows as solidly as any block of ice. The frozen Garou can still move, watch, listen, and use gifts, but appears cold and unliving to standard and infrared observation.
