This power up has significant good point: Gray as an ice wisard finnaly start freeze. If I remember correctly, only Lyon froze Natsu once and till now both of them only produce ice structures ore animals. On the other hand, Silver froze entire villige, Natsu, and use freezing movements as attack witch was awesome and fit well frost mage. Gray combined IDS magic with his molding by creating zero sword or bow, yet he froze torrents of Tempesta showing us he could use ice power in a various ways. I suppose Gray didn't lose his strategy, yet he added to it some of raw power witch he extremeley lacked in the past. In my opinion, IDS power does only good to Gray and if he lost it forewer after he clamed himself new Ice Devil Slayer, successor of his father, it would be lame, sad, and Gray became much more boring. IDS magic is good because if someone can kick asses not with power of frendship or power of flame panties or power of will but with just power because he is stronger from the start it is cool. I totally agree with HominiLupus Gray could obtained this power again by himself to pe permament if this current power up already gone yet he must be IDS when fight with END will start. May be with tatoo Silver passed to Gray power of the souls of demons he consumed and now without it Gray remains IDS but not as powerfull as Silver?
