Nobody in the Party knows Ice Magic, Therefore they can't teach you. Later you might find a specialist or get training somehow, But for now Ice magic isn't possible. Of course you could attempt to do so but you would probably hurt yourself without proper guidance.

30 more minutes to vote guys. Also you guys should know how the magic system works, Essentially there are 4 schools of Elemental Magic It works as is following.

Earth Opposes Air
Air Opposes Earth
Fire Opposes Ice
Ice Opposes Fire

Elements are strong against themselves and weak against the element that opposes it. The more you learn in one school of Elemental Magic the harder it is to use the Opposing School, Now are you sure you want to become a Dabbling/Novice Fire Mage?

So fire is weak against ice AND ice is weak against fire?

[Kaferian]

I would prefer learning how to dodge, but I'll go with Bardic Magic.

Edited for phone spelling errors. Seriously, I hate you, autocorrect.

[LuckyKobold]

What do you mean fudge?

[Ambidextrous]

Fire magic.

[zomara0292]

look, here is our advantage, either we take bard magic, and find out that we suck playing the triangle, a feat in itself, and have a ridiculous boost in our damage. . . . . or we take  bard magic and find out that our playing makes all the succubi come to the yard for milkshakes and cookies. either way, its not a bad deal. With that said. . . . . Fire magic gets my +1 with the hopes of learning how to play the impossibly difficult triangle later. . . . or split one day on both and be horrible at both. YES! why not choose both. we need not be masters, just creative.

[Haveroszaur]

+1 to fire.

"You were asleep for 4 days, I was beginning to think that you weren't gonna wake up, Anyways what do you want us to train you in?"
"I was thinking that you guys could teach me Bardic Magic and Fire Manipulation, I need not be a master, But rather merely creative."

The market place is bound to have lots of forgotten loot, but most like will be of low value, or food stuffs and very weak enemies.
The tombs will most likely have a lot of higher value items, more or stronger enemies, and no food stuffs. . . . . and lots of ragged clothing.
As for the temple. . . . . We may not worship gods, but that doesn't mean they do not exist. I see a lot of magically imbued items being there, and a few useless so and sos. . . . . . but also the most powerful enemies. . . . on top of that, we risk pissing off any god that owns it, if they found out that their temple is being ransacked. Others will likely have that very mindset, which means it should be the first place we go, considering the fact that it is the last, and most dangerous place we should be. . . . .  and. . . . well. . . . If a god finds favor on us and wants us to be its representative, we can browbeat them over the fact that they let their temple go to waste. and then decline.

Any particular reason why we have to disown the worship of higher beings? Just asking, cos peasants tend to be some of the most devoted.

To prevent people trying to be clerics?

[zomara0292]

Reason:(State your Reason for disowning the worship of higher beings)

Reason:A better life, it said. flocks of women at my throng, it clammered. Now I am stuck in this god forsaken hole in the ground with these. . . . old hags, clawing at my knees. Well, forget him. forget them all. Leaving me stuck here as a prostitute. I will never work for another anything again. . . . . they are a load of lying leghearts.

Yikes, I'd probably disown the worship of higher beings if I had to go through that - and I actually believe in them!

Good Question, In this setting Divine Intervention is absurdly common and is quite often OP, The IC Reason can be found on the page one character sheet, The OOC Reason is that I don't want to have a game based entirely around attempting to please some random Deity.

Wow,that was a lot worse than I thought it would sound.
