Due to lack of fight control on the hot side, would it be okay to spend 2 points for 1/4 mind freeze and 1/4 flash freeze? At this level, they are no real attacks, draw from strength as much as from instinct, and cost focus.
What draws us to the cold side, is the thinking, if I need those two anyway, I can as well build them up to be attacks, right? But what if we don't follow this path, simply?
