It was a shame the strange hand didn't show any obvious agony. Aleksiya would have liked to at least indulge in the sight of the damned thing's pain. But more importantly, its movement was clearly impaired by the icy spikes driven through it at multiple points, in particular the palm. It was struggling to move Kordelia as effectively as it had before.

Those strings were how it was manipulating her fellow Lord, but it definitely seemed the hand required some level of movement to do so effectively. In which case...

Grinning, Aleksiya sat up. Now that her ice was lodged in the hand, she could use it as a point to start from.

The ice was beginning to spread. Drawing moisture from the air, glistening as it began to move outwards from the point it had impaled the hand. But not just over the hand, no.

The icy coating was starting to spread towards the strings themselves.

Make them hard an inflexible, and this bastard won't be able to toy with Kordelia like that!
