"Instead, let’s chalk it up to global freezing!"
― Leonard Snart/Captain Cold (DC Comics)
Top: Antarctica is the only known continent and potential country completely covered in ice and snow.
Bottom: A cyan symbol is a sky blue, six-pointed snowflake.
Ice (Tagalog: yelo / andap; Maori: haukapapa; Japanese: 氷 "kouri" ; Emoji:❄️) is an element that is uncommonly found in nature.
Cryokinesis is the superpower to create, control, and manipulate ice and cold temperatures. It’s one of the most iconic elemental abilities — representing calm, precision, and deadly stillness.
Cryokinesis is from Greek:
“Cryo” = cold or frost
“Kinesis” = movement or control
Cryokinesis literally means “control of cold.” A person who possesses it is called a Cryokinetic or Ice Manipulator.

Ice is a substance that naturally occurs in the form of snow, slush, hail, icicles, ice spikes and candles, glaciers, pack ice, frost, and polar ice caps. This gives users power over a wide range of landscapes and buildings. However, situations without water or with excessively high temperatures could be dangerous for the user. By lowering the kinetic energy of the atoms and causing things to get colder, the user may create, shape, and manipulate cold, with temperatures ranging from a subjective feeling of chilly to absolute zero. This power's potential for causing cold-related ailments, such as hypothermia, is a very real possibility. Due to the loss of feeling and color in the affected area, bone and other limbs can also weaken and become brittle in extremely cold temperatures, to the point where they can break without causing any pain.
Ice elemental creatures stand out for being able to endure very low temperatures, as well as adapting to freezing weathers. They control ice at will. Their habitats go from the top of mountains, frozen caves and caverns or even the poles.
Cryokinesis is rooted in thermodynamics — freezing occurs when heat energy is removed from matter.
In fiction, cryokinetics might:
Absorb heat from their surroundings to form ice, or
Convert energy directly into molecular stillness (zero motion = cold).
The creature or survivor is able to make, shape, and control ice, or water that has been frozen into a solid state. Only the user's creativity and physical limitations place a cap on the usage of cryokinesis as an elemental power. In essence, users would be able to produce ice via a variety of techniques, such as by freezing nearby water sources or by reducing the temperature of the air until solid ice formed.
They could channel and release this ice to create ice walls and domes that can be utilized both offensively and defensively, as well as ice beams that instantly freeze anything they come into contact with. Another ability is the ability to utilize ice to lock opponents in ice that slowly destroys their cells or freezes them into ice that breaks them into pieces.
The capacity to form and control ice is the second most frequent use, whereby one can make ice chunks into icicles to puncture an opponent or an icy wind to make it harder for them to breathe. Many Ice attacks and moves have chances of freezing the target, which prevents them from attacking until they thaw out.
If at an appropriate level, the user might be able to overcome this obstacle via sheer force by quickly cooling the surroundings or by creating usable ice out of thin air (which typically requires magic in one form or another). It would also potentially be possible to summon blizzards and ice-related catastrophes. By using ice to lower the kinetic energy of the atoms, one might also manipulate the cold, which would allow one to create temperatures as low as absolute zero. The special abilities of some ice manipulators may be used to see through ice or transform one's body into ice.
Ice may be molded into several types of weapons, including swords, spears, and scythes, for use in combat. Additionally, they would have the ability to manipulate vast amounts of ice with ease and would rain down a hail of ice shards on their adversaries. Gliding on ice can also be used to increase mobility and speed. This can let one reach locations that would be very challenging to get to under regular circumstances while also preserving endurance. Some creatures or survivors might even be able to use ice to enlarge themselves or make clones of themselves that, in some situations, could be sentient.
Being born with the ice element makes survivors and creatures immune to both direct and indirect impacts of the cold. The user's body temperature no longer drops in cold, arctic environments. The user is essentially immune to cold-related ailments and disorders that would otherwise weaken or even kill normal beings. Even in freezing climates, users might exist while dressed simply or without any protection at all.
Cryokinesis symbolizes:
❄️ Calmness and emotional control.
🌬️ Isolation and detachment.
💙 Purity, clarity, and inner strength.
⚖️ Balance and restraint.
It often mirrors the user’s emotional state — intense emotions can cause ice storms, while peace brings stillness and beauty.
Weapons and armor can be imbued with the element of ice. When the ice weapon strikes, it releases a cloud of ice and snow into the wound, which can be extremely effective against certain monsters.
Depending on the user’s mastery, cryokinetics can:
Freeze Matter: Instantly lower the temperature of objects, water, or air to create ice barriers, weapons, or traps.
Ice Creation and Manipulation: Form ice structures like spikes, walls, blades, or armor — shaping frozen matter into precise constructs.
Cold Aura Generation: Emit an aura of freezing cold that can slow down or freeze enemies and surroundings.
Temperature Control: Absorb heat from the environment or people, drastically cooling the area or inducing hypothermia.
Cryogenic Healing / Preservation: Use cold to numb pain, preserve tissue, or halt decay (even time-like stasis).
Cryo-Transportation: Travel through ice or snow, or form ice slides and bridges for quick mobility.
Weather Control (Advanced): Create blizzards, snowstorms, or frost-based fog over a large area.

Purify Scales (Great White Snake only) - White Snake cleans their white scutes to recover from bad injuries.
Ice Food - The creature gradually recovers HP in snow.
Cold Breeze - Powers up the Ice-type moves.
Refrigeration - All elemental moves become Ice-type moves. The power of those moves is boosted a little.
Living Blubber - A creature is protected by a layer of thick fat, which halves the damage taken from Fire- and Ice-type moves.
Slush Coat - Boosts the creature's Speed and Stamina stat in snow.
Snow Coat - Boosts the creature's evasiveness in snow.
Snowstorm - The creature's aura makes it snow when it enters a battle.
Water🌊 - because water is a good conductor of electricity and since electricity is a form of energy and water is a chemical compound, electricity can split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen; conducting the electricity, they can get electrocuted.
Air🌬️ - because one of the biggest cause of bird death is that they get struck by lightning while flying.
Fae🧚 - because, in the true X2 nonfiction life, destroying the beauty by electrified or get struck by lightning or fairies could be killed with electricity due to it being man-made, natural or manufactured.
Time🕒 - Because of the nonfiction life, we can measure how much charge passes over any length of time—it does not need to be only one second.
Leaf🌿 - because, in the true nonfiction life, aerial animals are natural predators. Besides, tornados and hurricanes destroy crops as well as trees. Many aerial predators are natural bug predators.
Rock🪨 - because in the true nonfiction life, the ground is a natural sink of electrons, and electrical appliances don't work when filled with dirt.
Sound🎵 - because must be translated from electric current to pressure waves.
Light🔆 - because in the true X2 nonfiction life, the light is a natural absorption of electrons.
Itself - because adding electricity to another source of electricity increases the source.
