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.

ICE is a powerful damage spell, dealing twice as much damage as FIRE, but few monsters early in the game are weak to Cold. The only noteworthy exception is the 255-Absorb SCUM, who are just as vulnerable to Fire. Nonetheless, ICE is a very useful spell for your Bl.MAGE to deal some damage with. Just don't use it against Undead!
