How it works

Thaw is the Freezer's answer. Wake it, and the pattern is spent as a warm wave races outward from the heart. A thawing warmth spreads (32 blocks). In its path:

ice melts to water,
obsidian wakes back into lava,
and snow and powder snow are swept away.

The warmth settles (812 changes). The reach grows with Tier, from 16 blocks at Tier 1 to 64 at Tier 7.

Good to know

Every obsidian block in reach turns to lava, including Nether portal frames and obsidian builds.
