Freezing works by cooling the temperature of water to freezing point. None. You do need to freeze water to make ice or frost.
- Hiro's sword was frozen. As far as we know, there is no water inside swords. (The Hard Part)

+ In The Hard Part, Sylar turns water into snow.

Freezing isn't truly cooling, but the ability to absorb all heat in an object, dropping it to low kelvins. Tracy froze an entire human being solid in a matter of seconds The manner in which this happened suggested that heat was drained rather than ice being generated. (The Butterfly Effect) Scientifically, this is what is logical. If most of the powers are based on logical science, then this is how it would work. Hard to explain. Big question is though, where does the energy go? Law of the Conservation of Energy says it has to go somewhere...

It is possible that the energy is absorbed into the user and then displaced harmlessly into the surroundings in alternate forms, such as the blue glow we have seen when the ability is used.
Cooling is the absorption of an objects heat by nearby objects which have less heat.
+ Tracy's hands are still warm after using the ability, presumably because she acquired heat from the target, instead of cooling in a manner similar to refrigeration.

Freezing is not the reduction of temperature in an object, but the actual conversion of the chemical composition of matter to H2O, in its solid form ice. None. + When Tracy froze the D.C. reporter, his entire body, including his clothes, were frozen, and shattered. This would not have happened as drastically at it did in The Butterfly Effect by merely reducing the temperature of the body, and it definitely would not have happened for the reporter's clothes, made of different cloths.

The body is made of mostly water, and ice crystals can form on anything that is frozen.
Counter theory: the reporter had the ability of water mimicry, and it manifested when he was frozen.
- Scientifically speaking, the amount of energy that would be used in order to make this happen would be immense.

Freezing is a byproduct of telekinesis. None. + Scientifically speaking, freezing comes from stopping the molecules of an object from vibrating.

- No one who naturally possesses freezing as an ability has ever moved anything with their mind.
The theory suggests that freezing might be achievable through telekinesis, not the other way around.
