It's just like how someone with flameblasts does actually catch things on fire, or someone with ice powers can do some nasty damage by freezing water pipes.  And there are plenty of combat maneuvers to handle things like combo attacks, so with the special effects rules that ice/fire thing would be a logical decision by the gm to make.</blockquote>
