The target must make a DC 16 Constitution save or be restrained in a layer of ice. Until this affect ends, the target takes 1d6 cold damage each turn. This affect ends when the target takes an action to break free. This affect also ends if the target takes 1 fire damage or 5 of any other damage besides cold.
Lynel Bow. Ranged Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, range 80/320 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (2d12 + 3) piercing damage plus 10 (3d6) fire damage from magical arrows.

This destroys any burnable equipment or weapons the target is carrying.
