Most Powerful Ice Mages In Manga & Anime

Ice Magic is one of the subtlest forms of the arcane arts, and in many fantasy manga and anime, some mages can wield it with extreme precision and power. The power to freeze the blood on their rivals’ bodies, or to crystalize water into sharp weapons to hurl at enemies, all the forms of Ice Magic fans can see have one thing in common: it is tremendously powerful.

In dire situations, these anime characters are willing to cross the line and turn to forbidden magic, often leading to major consequences.

This topic contains some of the most powerful Ice Mages in anime and manga, with a debrief on their abilities and how well they can control the Ice element.

1 Gray Fullbuster (Fairy Tail)

Slays Demons With His Ice Magic

Trained by one of the most powerful Ice Mages in the history of Earth Land, Gray Fullbuster was raised to slay demons using the power of Ice Make magic. His abilities include creating powerful weapons made of ice, as well as freezing his surroundings, and creating pillars of unbreakable ice, among others.

But perhaps his most powerful magic is the Devil Slayer Magic, which is his father’s legacy. Combined with his innate dominion over the ice element, Gray can use this power to freeze the blood of demons (and other magic users), cast physical enhancement on himself, and boost his magic damage output.

2 Yue (Arifureta Shokugyou)

Can Freeze An Entire Continent

Yue is an ancient Vampire that has lived for hundreds of years. This has allowed her to perfect several types of destructive magic, among them, ice spells capable of freezing an entire continent (if she is willing to). Her elemental magic is so strong that even dragons fear her due to their innate weakness to ice-related spells.

These isekai protagonists navigate other worlds with incredible powers that nobody else can claim.

She has shown a predilection for Fire-type magic, but her most powerful spell is definitely Ice Purgatory, an ability that freezes everything within a 50-meter radius of her, and it is impossible to protect oneself from it. She is also able to summon hundreds of ice spears and launch a powerful barrage of this spell at a single target, obliterating it instantly.

3 Lydia Ainsworth (The Iceblade Sorcerer Shall Rule The World)

The First Iceblade Sorcerer

• Author: Nana Mikoshiba
• Genres: Fantasy, Shonen, Action, Drama, Comedy, Harem
• Status: Ongoing

Lydia Ainsworth was the first mage to hold the Iceblade Sorcerer title, as one of the Seven Great Sorcerers, and the strongest of them all. During her early years as a battlemage, she quickly gained a reputation for freezing the entire battlefield without even breaking a sweat. Her unique magic allows her to control the temperature of the molecules in such a precise way that she can stop them from moving, making everything reach absolute zero.

She can also summon icicle blades (ergo her surname), a particular form of magic with great defensive and offensive abilities, passed down to every Iceblade Sorcerer throughout the generations. Ever since her injury during the war, she passed down the title of Iceblade Sorcerer to her apprentice and adoptive son, Ray White.

4 Wainsley (Black Clover)

Her Grimoire Is Full Of Destructive Ice Magic

Wainsley is a member of the Blue Rose Magic Knights from the Clover Kingdom and a proficient user of Ice-type Magic. Her grimoire allows her to use powerful elemental spells, capable of freezing the air around her, or to hurl enormous chunks of ice at her enemies.

She is capable of creating solid constructs of magic, like bridges, walls, and more. Her magic is so flawlessly executed that her rivals barely notice something is wrong, until it’s too late, and their feet or bodies are entombed in never-melting ice.

5 Lawine (Sousou no Frieren)

Can Freeze Rain Drops As They Fall

Lawine made her debut in Sousou no Frieren during the Continental Magic Association exam arc, and since the moment she made team with the ancient elf, every fan of the show knew this mage had something special. For starters, her childhood friend and rival, Kanne, states that Lawine is far more capable than her. As a third-class mage, she has magic control that rivals Fern and is also capable of casting wide-area magic.

6 Evangeline (Negima, UQ Holder)

Wields Krystalline Basilea

Evangeline is an immortal being of unfathomable power and a proficient Ice Mage who has spent hundreds of years battling enemies both on Earth and Mars. Using her innate magic called Krystalline Basilea she can replicate the effects of Magia Erebia, empowering herself with the ice element and breaching all the barriers of a regular spellcaster.

She is also able to absorb the power of her magic to create a powerful Ice Armor, which she uses to defend herself from most attacks. While she activates her supreme spell, she can cast silent spells, without the need of chanting, turning her enemies into frozen statues in no time.

7 Ray White (The Iceblade Sorcerer Shall Rule The World)

Current Iceblade Sorcerer & Capable Of Freezing Time Itself

Ray White is the actual holder of the Iceblade Sorcerer title and the mage who put an end to the continental war when he was only a teenager. It is said that he is the most powerful mage in the world, capable of freezing time itself. In truth, Ray has lost control of his abilities several times, so much so that he overheated, a dangerous state where the mage can bring destruction to everyone and destroy themselves.

As the strongest of all Seven Great Sorcerers, Ray is far more capable than the others but chooses not to let himself get lost in an onslaught, binding his powers under a spell called Chrono Lock. When he releases this lock, he will assume a form that resembles an Ice elemental, with his skin becoming pale, his eyes shining in a bright eerie blueish light, and his hair acquiring a light blue glowing tone. And he is so strong that he can freeze his opponents as they attack him, rendering every attempt on his life useless. He is also a powerful swordsman and wields his Ice-conjured blades with lethal precision.
