Ix finished a dungeon! They can gain one new ability from this list:
Colder 
: +1 Def in ice form.
Element of Surprise: +2 Atk when changing forms.
Elemental Power I: +1 damage when dealing fire damage in Fire Form, or when dealing ice damage in Ice Form.
Elemental Regeneration I: Once per dungeon, recover 2 HP when hit with an attack whose damage type matches current form.
Elemental Resistance I: +2 Def against all elemental damage except fire or ice.
Elemental Weapons: All held weapons deal the same type of damage as unarmed attacks.
Frigid Aura : -1 Atk for all enemies nearby.
Glacial I : +1 Def when not moving while in ice form.
Hotter 
: +1 Atk in fire form.
Sweltering Aura : -1 Def for all enemies nearby.
Throw Flame I : Makes a ranged attack that deals 3 fire damage while in fire form.
Sweltering aura
Better than +1 attack as it debuffs all enemies
Frigid Aura
Almost like Botanya’s Aroma, which makes wonders for mob-type enemies (meet 5 enemies, they get -5atk in total, etc), but unlike her Ix can freely attack. And it stacks with Botanya’s ability, if we were to take them both again.
Ix has tank potential. Note that Elemental Resistance should include poison and holy from how elementals worked in Ix’s dungeon and the dragon robes. Not impossible that the presence of unblockable death-element damage could also turn on the defense against blockable damage from other sources, but that’s a bit of a stretch. Frigid Aura is still the best defensive choice to start, but there’s a lot of conditional defense there.
dang I think elemental regenaration will be good for the elemental wars though
(im thinking of future quests, but it might help in the next one two, I don’t know)
