  • The creation of ice may depend on the amount of moisture available; dry areas could make this difficult or impossible.
• Ice is affected by everything that normal ice would be, although the user is perfectly able to use their power to return the ice in its original shape and/or controlling it even under these forces:
  • Melt under extreme heat (Fire Manipulation, Heat Manipulation, Magma Manipulation, etc.).
  • Vibrations are difficult (if not impossible) to freeze, as they cause the ice to shatter, making sound-based abilities a perfect counter.
