, but notable characters can wield ice magic effectively.

Gray Fullbuster, with mastery in various ice magic forms, reigns supreme as the ultimate ice mage.

As a self-proclaimed connoisseur of magical battles and an avid follower of Fairy Tail, I must say that Gray Fullbuster has truly earned his title as the Ultimate Ice Mage. His journey from a young boy seeking to avenge his family to a powerful member of Fairy Tail is nothing short of inspiring.

In the realm of Fairy Tail, various kinds of magic abound, many of which are useful in battles. Among these, the most memorable is elemental magic, and for this discussion, we’ll zero in on one of the strongest elemental magics: Ice Magic. Ice Magic can be subdivided into three main branches; basic Ice Magic, Ice Creation Magic, and Ice Demon Slayer Magic.

As a gamer immersed in the magical world of Fairy Tail, I must admit there’s a scarcity of characters who specialize in Ice Magic. However, to spice things up and broaden our horizons, we’re going to take a peek at some powerful individuals who can wield Ice Magic, even if it’s not their primary forte. Here are some of the most formidable Ice Magic users in Fairy Tail, listed in order of their might:

8 Makarov Dreyar

The Master Of Fairy Tail

The Strongest Ice Magic Users In Fairy Tail, Ranked

Affiliation: Fairy Tail
Strongest Ice Magic: Ice Geyser
First Appearance: Episode 2

Makarov Dreyar serves as the Guild Master for Fairy Tail, but appearances can be deceiving. On most days, he seems like an ordinary, if unusually lively, elderly man. However, beneath his unassuming exterior lies immense magical power. Makarov is indeed one of Ishgar’s Ten Wizard Saints, a prestigious title bestowed upon mages who are considered far superior to their peers.

Makarov excels in the realms of Giant Magic and Light Magic, yet he has a knack for various other magical disciplines too, such as Ice Magic. Regarding Ice Magic alone, others may surpass him on this list, but as one of the Ten Wizard Saints, Makarov demonstrates his prowess by generating an enormous Ice Geyser capable of enveloping an entire building.

7 Ultear Milkovich

The Daughter Of The Ice Saint

Affiliation: Crime Sorcière
Strongest Ice Magic: Ice-Make: Rosen Krone
First Appearance: Episode 2

Even though she’s relatively young, Ultear has been associated with various influential guilds and organizations, including the prestigious Magic Council, the formidable Cult of Zeref, the shadowy Grimoire Heart, and the autonomous guild Crime Sorcière. Her extensive wisdom and power are coveted by both virtuous and wicked entities. This is why Ultear is highly valuable as an ally, but equally dangerous as a foe.

Ultear is both revered and shuddered at by mages worldwide due to her exceptional mastery over Time Magic, allowing her to manipulate time itself. Beyond this, she’s also highly skilled in Ice-Make Magic, thanks to being Ur’s daughter. One of her most powerful Ice-Make spells, Rosen Krone, is essentially a replica of her mother’s namesake spell.

6 Lyon Vastia

The Sub-Zero Emperor

Affiliation: Lamia Scale
Strongest Ice Magic: Ice-Make: Snow Dragon
First Appearance: Episode 12

Lyon, much like Gray Fullbuster, excels at Ice-Make Magic. What sets them apart is the specific kind of Ice-Make Magic they specialize in. Gray is proficient in Static Ice-Make Magic, enabling him to craft inanimate objects such as ice spears and shields, which he must manually manipulate if he desires movement.

Simultaneously, Lyon excels at Dynamic Ice-Shaping Sorcery, a skill that enables him to fashion autonomous ice creatures like ice birds, tigers, and more. These self-moving entities range from silent ice mice evading enemy defenses to colossal snow dragons capable of flattening everything in their wake. With such a versatile arsenal at his disposal, Lyon’s Ice-Shaping Magic has the potential to wreak havoc and destruction on the battlefield.

5 Bloodman

The Cursed Copycat

Affiliation: Alvarez Empire
Strongest Ice Magic: Ice Devil’s Rage
First Appearance: Episode 295

Bloodman is a member of an exclusive force known as Sprigan 12, which functioned directly under the Black Wizard Zeref for the Alvarez Empire. He excels in Curse Magic, specifically the fearsome spells of the Nine Demon Gates. Moreover, he possesses the unique capability to temporarily mimic the powers of certain members from the Dark Guild Tartaros, including Silver Fullbuster’s Ice Devil Slayer Magic.

Due to his unique skillset, Bloodman can summon numerous Ice Devil Slayer spells, with the most potent one being the Ice Devil’s Fury, a spell that enables him to emit an icy blast capable of freezing anything it encounters. It goes without saying that Bloodman exhibits greater strength when he wields his specialized magic, specifically Curse Magic. Furthermore, his proficiency in using the Ice Devil Slayer Magic, considered one of the most advanced, if not the most advanced, forms of ice magic, places him amongst the top mages here, thereby maintaining his position within this ranking.

4 Ur

The Noble Ice Saint

Affiliation: Independent
Strongest Ice Magic: Ice-Make: Ice Volcano
First Appearance: Episode 11

Previously touched upon, Ur serves as a teacher to both Gray Fullbuster and Lyon Vastia. Her exceptional skills as an Ice-Make Mage have earned her recognition among the Ten Wizard Saints. Regrettably, she didn’t live long enough to officially bear that title. In a heroic act, to protect her dear students from the destructive rampage of Deliora, one of the world’s deadliest demons, Ur selflessly gave up her life and was frozen herself, trapping Deliora in an everlasting icy prison.

Different from Gray and Lyon, who specialize in specific forms of Ice-Crafting Magic, Deliora demonstrates a unique proficiency in both static and dynamic Ice-Crafting. From an icy prosthetic limb to a blooming ice rose garden capable of piercing its surroundings, her abilities in Ice-Crafting are vast. However, it’s her most potent spell, the Ice-Crafting: Ice Volcano, that truly sets her apart. Upon casting this spell, the ground beneath her adversary splits open, and from deep within, a violent storm of freezing ice shards and blocks surges forth, either knocking her opponent down, tearing them apart, or freezing them solid.

3 Invel Yura

The Ruthless Winter General

Affiliation: Alvarez Empire
Strongest Ice Magic: True-Ice Kamui
First Appearance: Episode 287

Just like Bloodman, Invel Yura is part of the infamous Spriggan 12 and holds a significant role in the group. Beyond being a member, he serves as Zeref’s Chief of Staff, acting as the Black Wizard’s trusted deputy, often referred to as the Winter General. Unlike typical ice magic users who can only freeze people, Invel has creatively employed his Ice Magic abilities in unique ways. For instance, he can control his targets with an Ice Collar that restricts their free will, or transform them into mindless puppets using an Ice Lock.

Amongst all his spells, Invel’s most potent one undoubtedly is the True-Ice Kamui. Once triggered, an armor of ice envelops Invel, granting him the ability to freeze anything he touches. Even characters resistant to intense cold, such as Gray, feel a shiver at his presence. However, despite Invel’s prowess, it’s important to note that he remains a standard Ice Magic user. He pales in comparison to the leading two Ice Mages on our list.

2 Silver Fullbuster

The Mighty Ice Devil Slayer

Affiliation: Tartaros
Strongest Ice Magic: Ice Devil’s Rage
First Appearance: Episode 232

Gray Fullbuster believed his father perished with his mother many decades ago. However, it turned out that his father, Silver Fullbuster, was transformed into an undead by a powerful necromancer from Tartaros named Keyes. With no other choice but to serve the enemy, Silver used this second chance at life to master one of the most potent Ice Magics in existence – the Ice Devil Slayer technique – within the ranks of Tartaros.

With a mere wave of his arm, Silver can bring an entire town to a frigid standstill by freezing it solid. To make matters worse, he possesses the Ice Devil’s Wrath – a power reminiscent of the fearsome Dragon Slayer’s Roar. Instead of unleashing an intense jet fire like Natsu, Silver summons a colossal blizzard with his breath, leaving nothing but destruction in its path. For those who may be curious, Silver’s Ice Devil’s Wrath is far stronger than Bloodman’s imitation.

1 Gray Fullbuster

The Ultimate Ice Mage

Affiliation: Fairy Tail
Strongest Ice Magic: Ice Devil’s Zeroth Destruction Fist
First Appearance: Episode 2

Among numerous potent mages listed, Gray Fullbuster, a young member of the renowned guild Fairy Tail, distinguishes himself by excelling in all three primary aspects of Ice Magic. He honed Ice-Make Magic under Ur’s tutelage, self-taught regular Ice Magic during his time as a mage within Fairy Tail, and inherited the fearsome Ice Devil Slayer Magic from his father.

In a battle, Gray typically depends on his reliable Static Ice-Make Magic. This enables him to erect an ice barrier to protect his companions, wield a gigantic ice mace to incapacitate his foe, and if needed, freeze them solid. But when he encounters an exceptionally powerful adversary, Gray triggers his Ice Devil Slayer mode, turning into a destructive force, freezing and obliterating anything and everything in his way with his Ice Devil’s Zeroth Destruction Fist.

Among all the characters listed, none can match Gray Fullbuster’s unique blend of versatility and destructive power simultaneously. While there are characters who might be stronger overall in the series, when it comes to mastery over Ice Magic, Gray stands unchallenged as the most powerful Ice Mage within the world of Fairy Tail.
