I wonder what their attacks will look like, but either way they look exactly like what they are ^_^ (Also, i'm assuming they will have an attack similar or identical to the ice mage)

there was a discussion about this, now that we have been gifted the ice witches in time they might get sweet looking attack spells like firing icicles from their finger tips and freeze areas to slow enemy movement or do cold effect damage and stuff like that.
i think for now it's the same attack as the ice mages had, but maybe, we will see what else of unexpected goodies we will receive! :D :D

Description

This unit will replace the Ice Mages.

"The Ice Witches are a female-only Sisterhood of powerful sorcerors within the lands of Kislev. Women of great magical power, of whom the Tzarina is their most famous member, they command the very elements and bring to bear the might of the land in defence of their great nation. They are a strange breed, being physically and spiritually linked to the seasons, growing weaker in the summer and stronger in the winter.

The Ice Witches are firmly on the Tzarina’s side. She is currently the most powerful Ice Witch in Kislev, and some say she is a reincarnation of Miska, the first Ice Witch and Tzarina of the early Gospodars. Katarin, in turn, favours the Ice Witches, granting them legal privileges similar to those extended to the nobility. The main weakness of the Ice Witches, from a political perspective, is that they have very little to do with the common people of Kislev, remaining aloof while studying their magic. The level of power they bring to the Tzarina’s service is highly valuable, but they do not bring any other supporters with them. Individual Ice Witches who could win a place in the affections of the people would be greatly favoured by the Tzarina.

The Ice Witches guard many prophecies and legends. One claims a male Witch will one day taint the pristine flows of Ice Magic, changing it forever. So strong is the Ice Witches’ fear of a male witch that ever since the days of Tzarina Shoika, men have been banned from becoming spellcasters in Kislev. This decree has been justified with claims that men are unsuitable for magic and will surely fall to corruption, and these beliefs are now strongly held by all levels of society. To this day, male hedge wizards are tracked down and killed by the state. Or if they are noble, they have their magical capabilities removed by Witches using a ritual similar to Pacification in the Empire."
