At least fire and lightning both can, where warmth and ash fertilise and promote growth in the forests. Ice decays and frosts what it touches - it can never provide the duties conjurers have. On the same level, water is too deeply ingrained as part of the regenerative aspects of elements. For Thaumaturges to utilise a regenerative power as a tool for destruction is absurd. Lore wise, I don't think it's good to mix them.
Seriously you people need to stop making this about lore, and as a class I dont think you should be restricted on level one magic, ffs its the lowest tier version of the magic. I'm not talking about Conjurers being able to use freeze, I'm talking about any class From Gladiator to Thaumaturge, having the ability to use the lowest tier of each magic element and nothing else.

Besides that, what you say makes absolutely no sense, Ice is frozen water. And Ice also has restorative properties, and it also have preservative properties so your argument is so flawed it just disappoints me.
