Elder Dezend frowned, looking out toward the scene before them. He reached out to the side and touched an iced-over piece of bark, rolling it between his fingers and then crushing it.
"… I cannot tell… if this Ice Mancer is incredibly weak… or incredibly strong…"
"What do you mean by this, Elder Dezend? Didn't you say that we were working with a Water Mancer?"
"Yes. But if the Ice Mancer is skilled enough, exerting a certain degree of control over Water Mancy is very possible. After all, Ice Mancy is a higher variant of Water Mancy—much the same way some Lightning Mancers can exert some control over Fire Mana.
"But this…"
Everyone looked toward Elder Dezend in confusion, not understanding what he was trying to say.
Did those Mancers exist? Yes, they did. But they were impossibly rare, and even those that were capable of it wouldn't spend so much time on such efforts.
