Well, related to the 'ice hearts'.
Perhaps they could be found by some very rare enemy, some kind of being, born of ice that walks the earth (Or just cold places), and destroys all that is warm. It would spread snow where it walks, turn magma into rivers of that liquid ice (Allowing potential FUN, think c:) and kill dwarves (And elves and humans, and everything else with warm blood), possibly with FUN afteraffects (You walk into a desolate town as an adventurer, or lead your expedition into an old ruin, to find it populated by unnaturally cold statues of dwarves/humans/elves), or just stuff while they're killing (Shattering a dwarf in mid combat, or freezing flexible armor, reducing a dwarve's dexterity)
If you manage to kill this/these mythical beast(s), sacrificing it's corpse to magma would yield the creatures heart, a thing that seems to 'emit' (Don't educate me on thermodynamics, this is a fantasy game!) cold. When you throw the creature into the magma, (The magma dims, and there seems to be an unnatural cold to it...) it would either just put the ice heart in the magma, where you would need to drain it, or it would turn it into that mystical flowing ice, which you would also need to drain.
I have no idea what you could use the ice heart for, though. Infuse it to armor/weapons, creating unholy abominations of the cold, defying Armok and bringing forth his wrath (And so begins the decent into chaos), or traps, that utilize cold, such as freezing gas, or said cold infused weapons to do FUN (No idea what infusing could do). Praise Armok, and turn it into a ward against the cold, or something.
If the mixing of lava, liquid ice and water could be a problem, there could be some rather destructive solutions, or something like that. If it makes contact with lava, it could create some kind of volatile reaction, such as an explosion, or some kind of mystical-bad (ideas?). If it contacts water, it could replicate itself, turning the environment into a cold biome, home of chaos-spawn, creatures of Armok's opposite (Suddenly story point)
Was this at all related to the thread?
