"Down to the deep freeze you go!" Rylai the Crystal Maiden said as she casts Crystal Nova on the snow. She giggled after casting her spell. "That sounds catchy. I'm going to use it when I enter battle... Now, what else I'm going to do? Hmm... I really don't now." she beamed. "I think I'll train some more." and she casts Freezing Field.
She was not aware that some of the ice missiles hit some weak snow caps on the mountain where she is training. Rylai's spell is interrupted when she felt the vibration coming from the mountain. When she looks up, she saw in shock that the snow caps give way. She turned to run for her life. The snow caps slide down the mountain and covered the place where Rylai was been. The fall was quick to end and never turned into an avalanche.
Rylai released a sigh of relief. "Whoo! That was a close call. I think I have to go back now." she was about to turn away when something caught her eye.
Peaking out of the snow caps is something pale blue and shiny. Attracted to its brilliance, Rylai approaches the thing. She cautiously pulled out the thing and discovered it was a crown decorated with blue crystals. Upon further inspection, the crystals are something she has never seen. And they emit icy air.
"A treasure rare as a glacier's heart!" proclaimed Rylai. "And it's mine!" she giggled and pulled down her cowl before putting on the crown. When she wore the crown, she felt her icy presence increased. "Oh, wow! So cool!" she said in excitement. "And I can feel power surging through me!"
Test the power of your spells.
"I wonder if my spells are stronger." Rylai casts Crystal Nova. To her surprise and delight, her spell did become powerful and instead of the white snow appearance, it shows like a blue fairy dust.
Try again.
Delighted of the new changes of her spell, Rylai casts Frostbite on a pine tree to see if it also changed too. It did when its appearance is a solid pale blue like the crystals on the crown rather than the usual white and transparent ice. Then she casts Freezing Field. As she was casting, she looked at the icicles and their appearance is also like the crystals on the crown.
"Oh, wow! This is so cool!" exclaimed Rylai. "I can't wait to show this new power to everyone!"
But it is better if this new power, you can create new spells... Powerful and devastating spells than what you know.
"Hm?"
Train more... Discover what else you can do... You can do better than what you are now.
Rylai is intrigued of what her brain is trying to tell her.
There are many things you can do with your new found power... Train and discover it... Become the most powerful and surpass other practitioners of ice.
Rylai smiled. "Yes. That sounds like a good plan. I'll train some more and we'll see what I can do."
Rylai did train as she listened to the voice inside her head, following the instructions on how to summon deadly hailstorms and blizzards, and create an army of ice golems.
Little did Rylai know, her mind and body is slowly being possessed by the spirit of Yulsaria, the Frozen Witch.
