Powers
Arctic Fog
Your mastery of cold allows you to hide yourself and all nearby allies within thick Arctic Fog. Arctic Fog makes you and your allies harder to see and increases your Defense to area effect, melee and ranged attacks, as well as your resistance to Slow, Fire, Cold, and Energy damage. You cannot use any other Concealment type powers while using Arctic Fog.

Envelopes an ally in gleaming Glacial Ice. Its crystalline structure has refracting properties that grants the target good Defense against Area Effect, Ranged, Energy and Negative Energy attacks.

Heat Loss
Heat Loss drains the heat from your enemies and transfers that energy to your allies in the form of Endurance. All foes near the selected target may experience a Heat Loss, which will drain their Endurance, Slow them, and reduce their Damage Resistance. Each enemy target that is successfully drained of Heat will expel that energy to all your nearby allies, granting them Endurance and a boost to their Endurance Recovery. Some Endurance and Recovery will also be transferred directly to you and any allies near you.
