What's your favorite ice-based spell, ability, or technique in a game?

I am still waiting for a super hero game that allows me to ice skate around a city like Iceman from X-Men.
I feel like you could do that in city of heroes but its been a while
Dark Messiah ice puddle is the funniest for sure, but I also enjoy any ice spells that let me shatter enemies with a combo. As for enemies, Souls series has Priscilla and Sister Friede that have some awesome looking ice/snow spell effects.
Dragon Dogmas spells are all so amazing
E - btw for context on how powerful the high level spells are, each of those purple dots at the top represents a full health bar

Freeze ammo in Mass Effect 2. Simply yet extremely satisfying.
I was extremely disappointed with how they changed it in Mass Effect 3. Not only the ammo worked differently but the effects were worse as well. It didn't look like ice anymore.

I was going to post this! It's an awesome skill shot that can really demoralize the other team when you land it from across the map. For those unfamiliar:
If you have vision of an enemy team from the other end of the map and can time the tracer correctly, it is completely devastating.
Yeah, captured from an emulator I guess. Shining Force always had great battle music and SF3 got it even better when Motoi Sakuraba came onboard. Amazing soundtrack.
Climbing up waterfalls with Cryonis was a fun thing to learn I could do. Also - got to Eventide Island by that method.

Good answer. Love using this on my DK whenever I can.Path of Frost
simple but really cool looking
Bonus points for using the horse at the same time. Nothing like riding a spooky spectral steed across water.
Absolutely this for overall usefulness.
This for being extremely useful against specific enemies, and because the feedback with it is pretty much peerless. God damn Capcom needs to release another game that has a similar tactile feedback system. Nothing has come close to that since, although the Souls games are pretty good feedback wise in general. For spells though in particular, nothing has been able to touch Dragon's Dogma. Nothing. From what I have seen of Devil May Cry 5 though, it might get pretty close, if not equal it.
edit: I can't even tell by that gif what that enemy is even supposed to be. Looks like a glitched out horse.

I don't think I'll ever forget the sound effect of single target ice 3 in FFVII
Edit: it's at 1:51 and apparently I can't figure out how to do t=111 because I'm old.

Just right click on the progress bar and select Copy video URL at current time.
This is pretty nearly my favorite power in any game. So fun, and so rewarding to finally pick it up.DD been mentioned, so I want to remind people of infamous 2, really liked the ice powers in that game. Ice launch :)
