Materials the heart of a frost giant

You conjure the freezing cold from the darkest, most frozen of planes, releasing it in a 60-foot radius swirling whirlwind of icy death. Each creature caught in the area must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or take 12d8 cold damage. Any liquids caught in the spell are instantly frozen. On a failed saving throw, a target creature is restrained by the swirling ice that has formed around it and suffers 1 point of exhaustion for each turn that it starts whilst restrained in this way. A restrained creature can make a Strength saving throw at the end of each of its turns to escape the ice. A creature that succeeds the saving throw takes half damage and is not restrained. A creature that is reduced to 0 hit points by this spell is instantly killed, and frozen as an icy statue. Any ice created by this spell does not melt naturally and can only be reduced to its liquid state by a spell of 6th-level or higher that deals fire damage.
