Hello.
One thing I've been thinking would be nice is a pyro spell for melting ice,
a bit like there is a earth to dust spell. Messing around with flints
(specially the humorous bit about mistakenly lighting the flint with
itself, and burning it completely up) seems somewhat, er, medieval.
Maybe a warm spell? Which wouldn't give any experience, probably, to avoid
abusing it :)
And with a probability of warming too much and destroying items in the ice.
One can already sort of do this with things like burning hands or other fire
spells - just be sure to put the ice cubes at the edge so they get a minimal
amount of fire, which the reduces chance of burning up.
Of course, there is still a fairly high chance of them burning up even in that
case (just like with flint steel).
Ice cubes could in theory melt on their own - give each a speed, and some
amount of hit points or the like (perhaps based on how much damage resulted in
them being put in ice in the first place, eg, a dragon breath is going to be
pretty big block of ice), and when it runs out of hit points, it is melted. So
if players want to wait, they could do so.
One problem there is that some items should basically get ruined even in that
case - while the scroll may not burn up and turn to ashes, it getting soaked
with water would likely ruin any writing on it.
