Technically, shouldn't Wind and Ice be reversed?

Since, wind is merely kinetic energy imparted onto air particles.

While with Ice, you're literally conjuring up physical Ice, especially depending on the spell, where you might literally be hitting your opponent with an ice cube.

Nah, you're 'conjuring' a gaseous material.

You're not conjuring ice, you're just freezing whatever is there, the physical ice is just the ambient water content.
Otherwise Ice and Stone would be functionally identical.

In what world would that make Wind?

Just creating gas doesn't do anything.

Wind is literally kinetic energy imparted onto air particles. Thus making them move. Thus making wind.

Typically, its done via convection currents. (Thus, you could theoretically link Wind back to Fire/Ice if you heat up/cool the air in a particular area you can cause convection currents and thus, wind)

You're not conjuring ice, you're just freezing whatever is there, the physical ice is just the ambient water content.

Okay... Explain Blizzard I then? Where you literally conjure up a ball of ice and then toss it at your opponent?

Also, yeah, Ice and Stone are thus functionally identical, with some exceptions such as Blizzard II which is freezing the area around you (Though, you also create icicles which could pierce like stalagmites might...) or Freeze which creates uhh... A snowstorm and thus deals damage using wind...

Magic is weird...

Kinetic energy is imparted against the newly conjured gas. Same thing you do with Stone and Water spells.
Just getting someone wet doesn't deal any damage does it?
