He is able to mold this ice psionically into various dense shapes and in this manner he is able to quickly form a great variety of ice structures, including projectiles and shields.<br><br>He does not have to hold the ice physically with his hands in order to shape it, his mental ability to control the formation of the ice appears to extend a considerable distance from his body, however he must have a line of sight to his target. The intricacy of his ice constructs decreases with distance; he is able to form precisely shaped ice blades at his fingertips which he can throw with great speed and accuracy, however at a distance his creations can only be described as chunks of ice which rain down around his target somewhat haphazardly.<br><br>[[image:Liath_MagnusLionheart_IceShield.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Magnus using plated ice shield]]Magnus can also use his power for defensive purposes; for example by creating barriers formed of ice columns between himself and any attackers. He has also recently been able to fashion a fairly intricate shield to provide a more focused defense against direct attacks. This shield is formed by creating interlocking hexagonal plates of ice over his forearm. By constantly replenishing the frozen plates, Magnus has found this method of protection can be maintained far longer than the larger ice barrier.
