Also Called

• Ice Witch/Warlock/Wizard
• The Cryomancer

Properties

As an archetype, the Cryomancer is a sorcerer, a sorceress, witch or wizard, or even a supernatural being that represents or has studied the mystic arts and is usually naturally gifted with ice magics, or learns them, or even just possesses ice-based powers and learns the mystic arts later. These types of magicians are considered powerful and even rarer than that of hydromancers in magical circles as elementals sorcerers go. Mostly these types of sorcerers are always considered evil or neutral; however, on rare occasions, this is not always the case.
