Amber & Ice is a new adult fantasy story set in the fictional world created by Charis Clarke. There are many parallels between the world we know and the world crafted ( wink wink) within the story.
POWERS
The universe got its namesake from the magical beings in the book. Crafters.
Crafters are human beings who have a magical connection to an element, whether water, air, earth or fire. Some Crafters have a stronger connection to their element than others.
There are five power groups.
Wind Summoners

- Can manipulate the air around them, and decrease or increase air pressure.
- Can lift and redirect objects and people.
- Can limit or increase oxygen in humans and (rarely) animals.
- Can create storms and channel lightning although highly advanced + rare.
Fire Vesters
- Known to be unpredictable
- Can burn things ( and people) from the inside out.
- Start fires big or small. Lighting a fireplace vs burning down a town.
- Can change the temperature of the environment and human bodies

Water Weavers

- Can manipulate bodies of water.
- It can manipulate water inside the human body.
- Has a natural affinity for water, some can walk on water, float and never sink etc
Earth Gaffers & Techno Masters.
Earth Gaffer’s and Techno Masters are the same, except this element goes along a spectrum. Some Crafters who belong to this fraction lean more towards being an Earth Gaffer; a Crafter who has a connection to the earth, can make medicines using natural ingredients and manipulate fabrics.
– Some can make poisons.
– All can manipulate the earth around them.Â

Techno masters are more connected to metals and not so much the earth. As stated, it runs on a spectrum, so there are some Gaffers somewhere in the middle.Â
