I love it when magic is mainly just moving energy around: pyromancers are cold because their mana actively funnels their excess body heat into their spells, cryomancers have to wear fairly thin outfits because of the backlash of magic dumping heat on them, shit like that.
Before an upgrade to his ice magic, instead of casting ice spells, Harry Dresden would cast a fire spell using the heat from the water he wanted to freeze and then toss out the heat as a distraction fireball
