Ice Elementalist

Version 0.13: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Ice Elementalists are magicians who have specialised in ice, one of the four types of elemental magic. Ice Magic offers a balance between destructive conjurations and protective charms.

Starting Equipment

Some species may receive different items based on their unique restrictions.

Strategy

As with other elemental mages, remember that building up your Ice Magic will make it harder to develop the opposing elemental magic skill (in this case, Fire Magic).

An Ice Elementalist begins the game without a religion, but may choose a god at the Ecumenical Temple or any appropriate altar (unless their race is Demigod). Either Sif Muna or Vehumet might help with magic.
