Elemental Disciples - Ice: Frost Kissed

Adds the Frost Kissed, a hearty, ice-themed class that revolves around insta-freezing targets and inflicting a new status effect that causes frozen explosions when hit with ice. Can be used as a primary class for added PhysDef but also makes a good secondary class to complement both melee and mage playstyles.
If you played earlier, give it another try and let me know what you think.

Status Effects

Frost Kissed introduces 2 status effects that do nothing on their own, but will cause an "explosion" in a 3x3 area if hit with Ice while affected. Additionally the explosion for:
Cold: will potentially spawn "snow fields", will remove Cold and apply Rimed.
Rimed: will potentially spawn "ice shards", will remove rimed and Freeze the target.
Both effects are removed if inflicted with Fire damage, burning, warmth, or frozen.

Hazards

• Snow Fields: Does not hinder movement or deal damage, but walking through one will cause Cold. If already cold: trigger the cold explosion.
  
• Ice Shards: Icy spikes that will hinder movement and do spike damage, plus leave you chilled. Will also trigger Cold explosion if cold.
  
• Cryo Bomb: Icy bomb that will explode in the surrounding 8 tiles, with a chance to cause Chilled, Frozen, or Cold, plus a chance to spawn snow fields.

The hazards are meant to advance the status effect chain towards making the enemy explode and freeze, as well as hindering movement.

Warning:
Due to limitations in the hardcoding, I cannot effectively bypass immunity to frozen.
As such: If the caster is immune to Frozen, then Flash Freeze and Absolute Zero will also cause Stun. I do not recommend trying to "cheat" this as it will wreck the class and may have unforeseen consequences.
Additionally, I built this with my Total Race Overhaul mod in mind and thus Ferren cannot be Frost Kissed because they are immune to Frozen and Stun. If you have a Ferren, the job will show up as "Requires Training". If you do not wish to play with my race overhaul mod, you can remove this line from the file "actorClass_icemage.txt": fReq=1-cIsActorType:ferren;.
Finally, with my race mod, some species are susceptible to cold -- while they are not prevented from playing as Frost Kissed, note that they suffer from longer durations of Freeze and will therefore not excel with the freezing powers.

After a bit of feedback and my own experience, Frost Kissed has been lightly tweaked, hopefully removing some of the negatives and making what's unique about the class shine better.

Frost Smash scales better than Vanilla skills and so has had its MP cost increased slightly.
CryoBombs are much faster (5 charge & 20 detonation) and should help with timing.
Flash Freeze has had cooldown reduced, duration increased, and adds damage to enemies.
Frozen Fervor now correctly adds a weapon buff that adds +Ice dmg and a chance to apply Cold.
Absolute Zero reduced cooldown, removed Chilled, adds damage.
Passives have been made more appealing (I hope):
Hoary Haste increases TTA reduction to -5 (more speed!) and will now proc on ANY ice damage, or chilled, cold, rimed.
Hypothermic Healing now heals your HP and MP for the full combined Ice & MagAtk.
