The thread title is supposed to be a pun on expanding ice but I'm not very good at it, cutting to the chase, I think that Fox tree skills from Verglas (Icicle Spear, Crawling Spikes and Expanding Ice) should all be considered Aquarian Domain magic, that can be cast with fists, similar to Asura Fist, there are a couple of reasons for this:

-The massive FP costs of these skills can be mitigated by talents and tome pages, to great effect mind you.
-It would allow ice mages to sub-Verglas for the passives its brings, as well as let them cast these spells specifically with a tome (It'd be like old pre-GR days, where these skills solely scaled off of WIL and suited a mage's playstyle anyway)
-Offers almost complete build variety for anyone wishing to use ice as their character's theme, and wants to do so with Verglas.
-If a mage forwent STR and spec'd entirely into WIL, they can't bask in everything MA has to offer either, so it doesn't just make Verglas off the rails good.

For these reasons, I think this could be a good change.
