!Push 1 in the direction the target was moving

@Push 2 in the direction the target was moving; A < 1 slowed (save ends)

Trigger

A creature or object enters a square of the frozen pond without shifting.

Effect

The triggering creature's movement ends, then they are force moved. If the target triggered this ability by being force moved, this ability gains an edge and any remaining forced movement distance is added to the ability's forced movement. The ability's forced movement doesn't trigger the ability again.

Upgrade

Thin Ice (+1 EV) The ice covering the pond is thin and the water is deeper. Whenever a creature or object enters or falls prone in a square of the frozen pond, that square is destroyed and replaced with icy water. The Icy Water ability replaces Slippery Surface. Any creature who starts their turn in the icy water takes 1 cold damage. If the water is deep enough, a creature can swim beneath the surface of the frozen pond, but takes this cold damage while doing so.
