Psynergy spells
Cold Snap: "Freeze pools of water into ice.": This costs 5 Psynergy Points, and has a range of three targets. This is also a Psynergy that can be used in the field; it can be used to freeze tiny puddles of water to make them grow into tall, icy pillars that one can hop onto. In battle, it resembles cold gusts creating a small chunk of ice to burst near its targets. Coldforge: "Strike with cold that freezes life.": This costs 12 Psynergy Points, and has a range of three targets. Stronger polar winds create a larger block of ice to grow and explode at the target location. Frostbite: "Strike with a bitter chill that reaches bone.": This costs 20 Psynergy Points, and has a range of three targets. Icy winds generate a huge ice crystal that shatters violently.

Cold Snap as a utility Psynergy
Cold Snap functions identically to Frost; it can be used to freeze puddles of water into frozen ice pillars. This is integral to solving many puzzles, as the ice pillars can be used as platforms.

Its encyclopedia entry reads as follows:
 * "This water-based Psynergy produces an arctic chill. By focusing its power on a specific point, the user can turn a water source into a pillar of ice."
