Ice

Mnemonic

Add a drop of something magical to water and suddenly it turns into big block of ice, just like that.

Imagine yourself adding that drop. What is it exactly? Something pretty potent, that's for sure. Now go ahead and touch the block of ice... wow, it's really cold — and only from one drop, too. Feel the burn on your finger from where you touched the ice.
