Story
Snowball Sylph's Lore from Gacha World
Sylph, the Elemental Spirit of Wind has a major role in regard to the season of winter. Her secondary prowess, the power to turn things into ice, allows her to influence the climate of the world through the winds that have been traversing over it. Making the wind colder, it becomes cold enough for the entire season to be winter, lasting for about four months. It would be a gradual process, but it is stable enough to last for four months.
Snowflakes appear from the clouds falling down in a gentle hail of coldness are a sign of Sylph's power influencing the weather. They are solidified energies of frozen life that melts eventually giving crops and plants the nutrition they need to survive in the cold weather without heat. It is also harmless for people as they are also simply solid, brittle forms of ice for children to be played with.
Snow is formed when snowflakes accumulate in the falling hail during winter. They are usually more condensed than the snowflakes, and due to the cold climate it is in, it would be hard to melt on its own. With Sylph's power of influencing the winter to be a cold one, people would mostly enjoy making snowballs, crafting snowmen and molding the snow like as if they are clay, being the usual plaything for children.
