# Terrain Effects

Certain [spells](https://guide.play-legion.io/items-and-spells#spells), in addition to their main effect, can also have an impact the battlefield, generating different kind of terrains:

* **Fire:** fire spells can set the ground on fire, leaving flames that will cause damage to anyone crossing through them. If a character keeps standing in flames, they will incur damage each time their turn starts. Flames can be extinguished with ice spells.
* **Ice blocks:** ice spells will generate ice blocks that can imprison characters caught in them and/or constitute obstacles that other characters need to move around of. Ice blocks can be destroyed by melee attacks and fire spells.
