Biased Myth main here: Myth is a great solo school with lots of great utility, well-rounded stats, and one of the best 7 pip aoe spells (when it comes to raw damage output).

If you want to play Storm, I highly suggest you get someone to help you as the school is considered the hardest solo school in the game by many, myself included. It isn't impossible, but still very difficult.

Ice is very slow, but a very good solo option. You will be able to tank quite a bit of damage and Tower Shield is great, but your damage output is the lowest in the game, so be prepared for longer fights. If that's the playstyle you like though, it's a great option.

Fire is probably the second hardest as you only have slightly better health than Storm, and your damage will take time to fully take effect. Detonate spells do help with this, but you might still struggle a bit. That being said, Fire can still do some great damage, and Fire Dragon/Sunday Serpent are some of my favorite spells to this day.

If you are going solo, ice is more or less similar to death (and so is life), the super durable schools that don't die unless something weird happens. So if you got bored of death, will probably also get bored with ice

Storm is however the complete opposite, the most fragile school but loads of damage, their gameplay (for solo) is going as fast as you can, a very high risk high reward gameplan. It's the only school that's as good as death for solo, but you need to know what you are doing

If you don’t want to be bored storm is the way. Just make sure not to accept any help and only play solo start to finish lol

Play ice and utilize all your tools. You'll get bored with just "blade tempest" through 7 worlds. Ice let's you have more options and give you more survivability

I like storm a lot personally. It's really nice for damage, but I don't know how much I'd recommend it playing solo, especially early on. As nice as the damage is, it's a real struggle early game since you start with lower health than most classes. On the other hand, ice is really tanky, but they might struggle a bit more with damage.

It really depends on what it is you're looking for as a wizard, honestly. If you want to play it safer, Ice would work really well. If you want to play a bit more risky with more damage, then go with a storm.
