The power of frozen water, arctic cold, and creatures of cold.

Ice is a special case and a bit hard to classify. Some claim it is a variant of fire, cold where fire is hot. Others claim that it is an aspect of water, or a mix of water and air. Some claim it is an element all to itself. Most ice creatures could not care less and use the powers regardless.

Many powers of this form are limited to ice and snow. This includes frozen water, but also ice and snow created by freezing substances that are liquid or gaseous at normal room temperature. In many cases, the ice created with this form is actually dry ice, which means it melts without leaving any water behind.

Ice attacks with intense cold or with icicles.

Ice elementals are spirits of cold and snow as well as columns of ice. Learning who to summon may require study or be a a score in itself. Ice creatures is anything living in the arctic. Arctic animals are governed by both the Ice and Animal powers.
