Making up ancient cold lost magics (idea topic)

Game Discussion
1

I was looking at the list of planned/considered ancient magics and I realized that all of them were either hot or neutral magics.

That got me thinking about what could actually be possible ancient lost magics with cold in mind but it’s clear that it’s a challenging thought

Name a few ideas you can make out if you can, I personally couldn’t come up with any idea that doesn’t make the magic feel like a “Lost magic” instead of ancient

TLDR: Name a few Ancient magics which you can see working in the game, mention gimmicks. (Cold themed)

2

space magic
as in actual physical space, not the outer space with those stars and all that

includes things like teleportation, portals, and maybe an ult art where it drags you and one opponent into a pocket dimension to 1 v 1 uninterrupted

3

cold theme magics are inherently difficult to come up with, since you can represent heat and energy in various ways, but you can only represent the lack of heat and energy in one way

4

Man how did I not think of SPACE, yeah space would be an interest ancient magic if Vetex considers. would be cool to open an arena in some dimension for a 1v1

5

yep this why I made the topic, i wanna see how people can come up with ways to introduce magics that are “cold” while also filling the “Ancient” theme

6

OH AND DEAD REVIVAL MAGIC WHOSE GIMMICK IS SUMMONING UNDEAD NPCS TO FIGHT FOR YOU (and maybe some death magic bits added in for flavour)

can’t believe literally only durza used this and it was never mentioned again despite being a cool concept

7

A guy on discord mentioned Dark Matter , and that apparently its cold

so purple like energy that has freezing effects? or maybe cold x shadow like magic

8

dark matter is just hypothetical invisible matter that could explain how galaxys form
seems more like gravity magic with a fancy wig

9

something that looks like the bottom of an iceburg would be cool, maybe glacier magic

I thought about glacial but it sounds like a lost magic instead of a ancient

frost fire too sounds too “lost magiky”

11

glacial magic just sounds like fancy ice magic ngl

or like an ice variant

12

OH WAIT, GLACIAL IS A ICE VARIANT ALREADY!

13

nvm its ARTIC not glacial

14

flashfreeze magic
unique ability: if it clashes with a projectile, freeze that projectile and, after a short delay, cause it to explode with 1.3x the size of the original explosion

special skill: wave of frost
the user swipes an arm, creating a large, sweeping wave of frost which freezes attacks in place. The wave leaves behind a freezing fog for a few seconds, dealing damage and exploding after the timer has expired.

15

no there is also glacial

i’ll change the name to glacier magic then, that should work

16

lunar could be have some cold-magic themes but idk could be a stretch

17

isn’t it water

18

why would lunar magic be water

19

water is considered a cold magic

20

wait why
