"Well you see there's the tricky part. I don't know all the sciency details behind how my powers coexist, but what I do know is the keyword here is 'Balance'. Neither my fire nor my ice are stronger than the other, so neither one ends up getting overpowered. I can also use them at the same time, but boy that's a challenge that requires some serious concentration!"

"Fire in one hand, ice in the other, yeah that's not that hard. Switching from using fire to ice or the other way around isn't so bad either. But effectively using them both simultaneously in battle without having them interfere with each other? That's some hard stuff, bro. Even I can't do that. Well, I kinda can, but the most I can do is just throw basic projectiles of both elements.

"I think maybe if I learned how to combine the two elements, like that Icefire or FrostFlare or FreezeFlame or whatever, I'd have a better understanding on how to handle them together like that. Or maybe using fire and ice simultaneously is secretly the secret to unlocking such a potential?"

"I dunno, man. Maybe I'm overthinking this."
