Ice Magic

Ice magic is the ability to control ice and snow, including moving it and reshaping it. Like most mages, ice mages are physically weak. Battlemages can wield ice magic without needing to use special artifacts, although it is only moderately effective.

Progression of Skills
Beginning ice mages can manipulate a moderate amount of snow or ice within a medium range, but have difficulty in controlling many finite particles. As they advance, they can improve any of the following skills:

-Range of control over ice and snow

-Control over a larger amount of ice at once

-Ability to reshape ice

-Control of more discrete pieces of ice - crucial for controlling snow

-Ability to create small blasts of extreme cold

Ice mages can learn Water Magic as a Secondary Magic when they have advanced to the sage level.

Ice mages who focus on controlling cold can branch off to study Thermal Magic, while those who focus on controlling large amounts of snow can branch off into Blizzard Magic.
