About the Magic
The magic of the crystallinum is a complex one, used for more survival than attacks. It allows you to control the aspects of winter such as ice and snow. This may lead others to think it is a sub form of magic similar to water evocation, but it in itself is an entirely different thing. The Art consists of the same aspects as any evocation but in its own way. There are, however, some skills that can be learned in addition to the magic itself.
To begin with one’s training; you do not have to be in contact with the diamond. It is just a way of allowing the magic to be connected to the void, hence its importance to Albinec. For without the diamond, the magic cannot be used to its full power, or just merely a single form of it can be used. This would include something along the lines of a being able to just make a room or atmosphere cold like a winter storm. Besides that nothing else without the diamond.
The magic is much like any other evocation for the most part. You can summon shards of ice that you can form into various things such as a wall, a blockade, or simply a way to trap someone. It can take the form of whatever you imagine, yet requires much concentration. Mainly this includes the thoughts of the cold winter storms and the cool chill of ice to instill within your mind. This will allow you to use the magic freely without the stress of concentration. But you may wield the magic for a limited time or you will either get sick, frostbitten, or freeze yourself. The time you can wield the magic will increase with each progression or more practice. The longest would be roughly fifteen minutes, but at that point you must release it to prevent any harm. Other thins that will happen with the magic is you can use the microscopic ice crystals to make attacks or walls a distance away from you. Of course the crystals will form on the surface but regardless it can allow you to freeze an area down the street with much concentration. This is one of the few that requires it. The other ability is the one that requires the most concentration. It is the ability to make yourself transparent; including the cloths that you wear for it is also the strongest. The ability renders yourself to be clear as ice, and on nights it will be very affective, however, the area around you will be freezing cold, and while using any of the magical abilities, your eyes will glow a pale blue. (Eyes will be closed for this ability) These are the hints in which one would find such a magic user.
Red Lines:
-You cannot be completely invisible and if your eyes are open they can see the blue light
-You cannot freeze people into giant ice cubes. Just freeze them enough to slow them down
-You cannot have your own diamond for Albinec has it, so no fakes and it will do nothing
-You cannot use it for longer than a few minutes unless you are extremely skilled. That means you can’t hold a giant wall around a town for days to protect it from raids
-This is a more defensive magic, yes spears can be made but not sets of armor. But daggers or icicle swords can. They will be very weak like a wooden sword but still able to kill
-Your eyes will turn blue when using the magic and they will glow
-You cannot summon ice storms but you can make the place feel like one
-users cannot use their magic, and then stop for a minute, anmd start again. It takes a few minutes to start, and maybe a day to recover and use it again because when you finish, you are freezing cold
-Walls are only as strong as the user, so yes someone can break it
