02-25-06, 11:54 AM Seconded. Damage is very powerful. As a mage, you shouldn't be hit. And with the extra damage, you won't have to worry about being hit, as you will be able to kill anything(hopefully) before they can get near you.

The cold spell specialization only works when it's cold. Furthermore, with the Frost Mage, you will be able to cast the broken summon ice critters spells.

You can get +2 damage per dice with a Control Weather spell later on anyway.
