Hailstone FlailWeapon (flail), varies (requires attunement) 

When first found, this flail has 2 snowballs, each as durable as stone. The weapon deals 1d4 cold damage for each snowball it has instead of the weapon's normal damage. If a snowball is destroyed, another one regrows at dawn from freezing moisture in the air.  Certain powerful beings like the Winter Drake or the archfey Frostmother can add additional snowballs to your flail, or you may craft new ones from enchanted snow to add to the flail. Other winter beings, such as an ice devil or the ice primordial Maelstrad may gift you with magical snow. The flail can have a maximum of 5 snowballs attached. 

Snow Barrage. While attuned to this weapon, you have a bonus to your attack and damage rolls made with this weapon equal to half the number of snowballs the flail has, rounded down. 

Ice Melt. Whenever you take fire damage while you wield this weapon, you can destroy one of the snowballs to gain resistance to that instance of fire damage, or three snowballs to gain immunity to that instance of fire damage.
