Ice

The Ice Affinity within the Arcana governs the elemental forces of snow, frost, and frozen stillness — a magic of restraint, patience, and biting precision. It is the chosen domain of Blue Mages, who master the art of wielding ice in all its forms, often drawing from the power of the world’s coldest, most unforgiving regions. But Ice, in the deeper language of the Arcana, represents more than just physical cold — it embodies stillness and the passage of time. One of its most profound sub-affinities is Time, a conceptual magic that manipulates the flow of moments. Mages attuned to this art can slow or accelerate time, displace it, or even rewind fleeting seconds, turning battlefields into shifting landscapes of frozen cause and effect. Thus, Ice stands not only as a force that halts and freezes, but as one that quietly rules over the very rhythm of existence.
