Sounds pretty cool! While we have an ice guy in the game I like the more fantasy-medieval feel of this skill set. How do you imagine their weapon? And appearance?

I don't have the strongest understanding of the mechanics of the game, but I do have a bit of feedback despite my ignorance. With the ult, I feel like everything works just fine and it's a cool concept outside of the bonus souls. I feel like those should be scaling based on the in game timer like all the other souls in the game. For ability 1, having the first upgrade be a huge cooldown increase seems a bit excessive, I might swap that with the range one.

I imagine his weapon would be a light machine gun, with an icy appearance, as if it had been frozen by the power of frostbane.

I imagine his appearance with ice armor, with a mask that covers his entire face, leaving only his eyes that glow a deep blue visible.

The idea of souls is that just like vindicta, he gains souls by killing players, and the more he kills, the more he gains, along with some blessings like resistance and damage. The idea of the ice blessing is to reward him for killing players, and you would have to kill 10 players without dying to get all the stacks, and if you die, you lose 2 stacks, so it would be difficult to accumulate, and that's why in my opinion it should be rewarding.

The cooldown reduction could be exchanged for the second upgrade, I believe it would be more balanced for the early game too.

In the ice blizzard skill, in the first upgrade "1 AP: -7.5s duration." there was a translation error, it should be "-7.5s cooldown"
