Can Alternating Cold and Heat Temper the Body?

Inside the Elemental Lord's enormous body of ice, Bell had actually sensed a searing heat that seemed capable of burning the soul. This greatly surprised him.

It wasn't as though he had never encountered an Ice Core before. In fact, the moment Ice Cores had been discovered, Bell had obtained one for observation and research.

Bell reassured his sister. As
