Ice

"You are Kopaka, who wields the power of winter itself. [...] You can ride the ice and snow...unleash the avalanche...freeze with just a touch..."

- Turaga Nuju, Comic 1: The Coming of the Toa

Ice was a preservative Elemental Power involving the essence of determination in the Matoran Universe and Spherus Magna. This was one of the most common elements, frequently used by Toa, Turaga, and Matoran.

Toa of Ice had almost perfect control of the element, while a Ko-Matoran was simply resistant to extreme-cold environments. Turaga  of Ice had powers somewhere in the middle.

All users of this element were passively more resistant to cold, and weaker against heat than other beings.

Examples

 * Creating ice/snow.
 * Creating concentrated beams of ice/snow/cold.
 * Controlling ice/snow.
 * Absorbing ice/snow.
 * Setting a delayed Ice reaction (Toa Nuva-exclusisve).
 * Unleashing an Ice Nova Blast.
 * "Possessing" ice. - Element Lord-exclusive
 * Lowering air temperature
 * Freezing anything (objects, enemies, etc.)

Combinations
With all wielding different elements, six Toa could combine their powers to create a Protodermis cage, capable of sealing away powerful beings, such as the likes of Makuta Teridax, or the Bahrag Queens. Freeing trapped entities required a shard of the prison to be charged with the same elemental powers used to construct it.

Beings other than Toa could not combine their powers at all, making them the only ones able to do so.
 * When combined with the Element of Fire, it could be used to instantaneously form a seal.
 * When combined with the Element of Fire, it can also make Water, which cannot be controlled by the Ice-wielder.
