He had a fire spell and tried to use it to melt the ice, but was told he couldn't because the way the Power was written meant it could only be used to target a creature.
Two years back a friend was playing a Starfinder Society adventure, and found a combat application of a non-combat ability in the context of the adventure. What followed was a half-hour argument about whether it should be allowed or not.
He freely admitted he woukd have just let it drop instantly if the GM had just said “no,” but apparently the woman flipped out at outside-the-box thinking, and acted like my friend had been strangling puppies rather than arguing over if RAW was allowed.
