You won't run into a whole lot of Cold-vulnerable creatures outside of Gurgu Volcano, but ICE2 is still a great damage Spell simply because it deals 1/3 more base damage than FIR2 or LIT2. As long as you save at least one level 4 slot to cast FAST during a given boss fight, there's not much better to do with your Spells than pound foes with ICE2. Be aware that all Undead and most enemies in the Ice Cave resist Cold—however, those are all solid FIR2 targets anyway.

Gather loot in the Treasure room of Gurgu Volcano B2 before proceeding further.
Ice1 is a powerful damage Spell, dealing twice as much damage as Fire1, but few Monsters early in the game are weak to it. The only noteworthy exception is the 255-Defense Green Slime, who are just as vulnerable to Fire. Nonetheless, Ice1 is a very useful Spell for your Black Mage to deal some damage with. Just don't use it against Undead!

Blizzard is not as generally useful as Fire, but between the two, you can exploit a great deal of elemental weaknesses. You won't be using it in every fight, but many high-defense creatures are weak against Ice, so it pays to level Blizzard. You can find a Blizzard Tome in the Snow Cavern, but you may want to buy the Spell before then. You can use the Tome as an item to take down the Adamantoise boss quickly.

Blizzard is the generic all-target Ice attack used by a number of Monsters. It's at its most dangerous the first time you encounter it, used by Vomammoths while protecting Terra in Narshe.
