Kelvin's ice abilities were created with a mix of science and magic.<ref>{{PageRef|name=Kelvin}}'s in-game [[Kelvin/Quotes#Frost Grenade|voice line]] (upgrade Frost Grenade): ''"I've learned many things in my travels."''</ref><ref>{{PageRef|name=Kelvin}}'s in-game [[Kelvin/Quotes#Ice Path|voice line]] (upgrade Ice Path): ''"Who knows where the magic ends, and the science begins!"''</ref> They seem unrelated to his glowing rock or undead condition, although he claims to be the only person able to safely use Arctic Beam.<ref>{{PageRef|name=Kelvin}}'s in-game [[Kelvin/Quotes#Arctic Beam|voice line]] (upgrade Arctic Beam): ''"Only I can bear the Arctic chill safely."''</ref><ref>{{PageRef|name=Kelvin}}'s in-game [[Kelvin/Quotes#Arctic Beam|voice line]] (upgrade Arctic Beam): ''"Being an Ice Wight has its advantages."''</ref> This is due to the fact that Kelvin doesn't get cold anymore.<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Kelvin|hero2=Vyper|number=2|hero_quote1=Vyper|quote1=You got any "liquid courage" in that parka of yours?
