The only difference between how I played them was that I used throwing weapons with the second one.
Freeze only has a range of 1 and your going to find throwing weapons before you get ice magic and spellcasting to a point where you can use throw frost reliably.
The use of throwing weapons appears to greatly increase the survivability of my characters in the very early game and with ice elementalists in particular give a very safe and effective way to take out the weaker undead who would otherwise be a huge annoyance.
A mummy ice elementalist has a mediocre spellcasting aptitude and consequently mediocre mp growth. They also have the lowest ice aptitude you'd ever want to try an ice elementalist with. This means more frequent miscasts early on wasting your mp.
The experience wasted on throwing seems minimal. I turn it off as soon as it hits the first level. I've never seen it go above level 2 and it only got that high because I forgot to turn it off.
Certainly running away and letting your mp recharge is an often effective tactic but mobs of creatures that are faster than you aren't that uncommon in the early game. Groups of jackals and hounds can be a death sentence if a group of them stumbles across you after you've used up most of your mp fighting something else. You're also risking running into more monsters as you make a run back to the stairs.
My characters that used throwing with this build seem to do much better than those that don't at least.
