Role of an Ice/Lightning Wizard
An Ice/Lightning Wizard mostly uses skills against mobs. It's medium-strength attack, Cold Beam, is used to make it easier to take on mobs by freezing individual monsters. Thunderbolt attacks multiple enemies at the same time, to clear the mobs faster. The other skills are shared with Fire/Poison Wizards.

Mesos
During the second job, Ice/Lightning Wizards generally make more money than Fire/Poison, but less than Clerics. Near the end, all 3 come closer together, but during the 4X and 5X and some of 6X, Ice/Lightning remains second. If you picked Ice first (tree 1/3), then you would earn a decent amount of money while leveling at an ok speed. If you picked Lightning first though, you would level a LOT faster at the earlier stages, but waste a lot of money on potions. Usually a Lightning Wizard will use a few million mesos before they max Cold Beam.
Training
Ice:
30-35: Stick to the Ant Tunnel. Horned Mushrooms are still good.
33-36: Boars. 1-hit kills for 42 EXP.
35-42: Fire Boars. 1-2 hit kills for 60 EXP.
43-50: Jr. Cellion/Jr. Lioner. 1-2 (should be 1) hit kills for 65 EXP, plus 5 EXP per horn with Exchange Quest, and you get some potions to help with training.
51-60: Red Drakes. 220 EXP each, 2-4 hit kills, depending on equipment, and other stuff.
61-70: Stay at Red Drakes, or you can try Hot Sands with your Thunderbolt.
Lightning:
I've personally never played Lightning, so I have no clue.
Overall
Ice/Lightning Wizards start fun, but end up getting boring as the training spots start diminishing, starting at level 40 or so. Once you reach the third job though, it becomes a lot more fun. Just be patient, take a break if you need it, and you'll eventually finish.
