Frost Magic Spells
Frost Magic, also called Ice Magic and Cryomancy, is the ancient tradition originating with the Ice Giants and their palaces of snow and ice among the clouds. These titans learned from the ancient Ice Primordials and then perfected their magic into an artform; perfectly crafting and bending the wind and ice to their will.
Modern Frost Magic has a variety of uses from simple gusts of cool wind, clearing a pathway of snow, or forming blockades of ice to protect their friends and re-route enemies. Under the oversight of Lorelei Silvermyst, Frost magic has regained some of its lost appeal as new spells and new creatures are being discovered and trained. Cryomancers from Rookwood are only rivaled by those of the Boreas Tribe of Polaris.
