Ice Shard [i]
“The ice that forms when Heat Voids dance with Bubble Sprites is hard and sharp. At first you may notice this as your elemental spirits get comfortable enough to be around each other. Later, you may realize just how deadly the shards of ice become.”
First Shards of Ice
The horrifying truth of elementals bonding with each other is how exponentially powerful their effects become. A Jet Stream through a heat void sends shards of ice over 300 m/s. A death sentence for an unarmored target.
Note: Elemental Magic may also be considered Arcane Arts. Feel free to eschew the elemental angle for other reasoning that suits the character.
