Ice from FFVI icon

Ice is an element in Final Fantasy VI. Some ice abilities also inflict frozen status. Ice-elemental attacks usually work especially well on Fire Fire-attuned enemies and dinosaur/reptile-type enemies. Celes Chere is associated with the element, learning ice spells just by leveling up.
