The idea would suggest that casting Blizzard allows the THM to think so clearly, or have such a strong mind, that he never runs out of Mana, while casting Fire makes the THM brain dead.Piety increased MP-- Mind increases healing!
As for Blizzard and Fire; you could explain it that attuning to the ice gives you clarity, which allows you to calm down and focus, using less of your energy to cast. Being attuned to fire makes you more emotional and passionate, thus increasing your damage, but also less focused and therefore increasing your MP usage.
My life is a chip in your pile. Ante up!
