Cryomancy

**Cryomancers** are wielders of ice and cold temperatures. They’re usually seen as calm, cool-headed folk without much of a sense of humor, but their grace and rationality is legendary. Their school is as versatile as fire, ranging from creating snow to summoning ferocious blizzards. Their source of power is Lunaris, the ice dragon, the beautiful yet powerful master of the winter. Their staves are made with Coldsiver and studded with quartz.

Their home World is called the Glimmering Mountains, a cold wintery expanse of forests and fields set at the base of a massive snowy mountain.

## Realm

The realm of ice, where Cryomancers channel magic from, is apparently a world of nothing but still ice. It's unknown if anything else can even exist in the realm or if the ice is even physical.

## Spells

### Novice

*Celsius* - Lower the temperature of the surrounding area. Generally the temperature can't be lowered further then freezing temperatures and its more difficult if the temperature is already quite warm.

*Icicle* - Create small icicles to surround and attack the enemy. The icicles aren't big, but they're sharp and can cause cuts and small wounds. The higher the roll, the more that are summoned, maxing out at 10.

*Snow* - Summons a gentle snowfall in the immediate area. Covers an area of about 10-20 feet.

### Apprentice

*Snowball* - Hurl a mound of enchanted snow at the enemy. It isn't hard enough to be effective as a sole offensive spell, but it great for causing diversions or distractions by blinding a target temporarily.

*Warp Ice* - Control already existent ice or snow. Less experienced wizards will only be able to move around small amounts of ice or snow while masters can control a large area.

*Ice Shield* - Create a shield of ice in front of you. Depending on the roll it could be thin and easily broken or thick and sturdy.

*Freeze* - Decrease the temperature dramatically. Far easier to do in an enclosed environment such as a cave or a building.

### Adept

*Frozen Knives* - Send an array of sharp ice chunks at the enemy. These are much larger and more dangerous then the ones summoned by Icicle. The less that are summoned the more precise they can be directed.

*Summon Icetiger* - Summons a spectral tiger of ice to aid you. The tiger will last as long as the caster can concentrate on the spell. While active, the tiger will take over the caster's rolls, but an Elemental Master will be able to cast other spells as well, enabling the use of two dice while the spell is in effect.

*Igloo* - Trap the enemy in a castle of ice. Depending on the roll, the ice can either be thin and easily broken or thick and impenetrable.

*Cold Slash* - A variant melee attack in which ice clings to a physical weapon. This increases the weapon's strength as well as able to cause frostbite or additional wounds. Ice can be attached to claws or fists, but the caster will be in danger of developing frostbite.

### Master

*Blizzard* - Summon a ferocious blizzard to the immediate area. The blizzard lasts as long as the caster is able to concentrate. Much harder to perform outside, but is more powerful and easier to maintain.

*Ice Rend* - Create a huge column of ice bursting from the ground, either as a spear or a flat surface. Can be used as a brutal, fatal weapon or as a means of transportation.

*Lunaris’s Call* - Chance the summon Lunaris’s power. When cast successfully, please tag an admin for the results.

### Taboo

*Absolute Zero* - Bring the temperature of the surrounding area to absolute zero. The caster must ensure they case the spell outside of their vicinity as anything caught up in the spell will be frozen and killed immediately.

## Staves

Cryomancy staves are made out of a special silver called Coldsilver, which is found only on the Isles of Fire. The raw metal, when touched, feels exactly like ice, although it isn't cold enough to cause frostbite when in a room temperature environment. Once forged, however, it feels like normal silver. It usually appears as a light sky-blue color but can also be any gray shade up to an off-white color (but not white or silver). Each cryomancy staff is studded with at least one crystal quartz, either clear or smoky.
