Siccatite and Frost Forged Steel

[Taiko3615]

Hello, just a brain teaser.

What would happen if a piece of cold Siccatite (say, half a pound of it) is put in contact with a Frost Forged Steel weapon for 10 rounds.

Now, let's imagine a little more :-)

What would happen if someone permanently attaches a small gem of cold Siccatite to a Frost Forged Steel weapon ?

Would it theoretically deal 1D4 of cold damage every turn, like a cheaper version of a frost weapon or would it just deal 1D4 for the first 2 rounds of every combat.

How much Siccatite would such a weapon need to work ? Half a pound ? The quarter of a pound ?

Thanks !

It doesn't work. The effect must do 10 points of cold damage in a single round for frost forged steel to cause extra damage.

Which is also why you can't just spam it with ray of frost, either.

Sorry where does it say it has to be dont in a single round? The example given says exposure to camp fire for a round would be enough, but not that it must occur in the same round. The only issue might be that the cold damage would excess the frost forged ability to use, causing the blade to break. If you were to have a sheath with some Siccatite however you could have ur blade in there for 10 rounds, then draw it for the 1d4 of damage for 2 rounds, or 1d6 for 4 if ur armour is also frost forged.

Best use of Siccatite is perpetual motion machines.
