Spells of the Water tradition grant command and control over liquids and ice, allowing users to blast enemies with jagged shards of ice or entrap foes in giant, undulating orbs of water.

Water magic also has restorative qualities for easing suffering and repairing injuries, though not to the same extent as the assistance offered by Life magic.

As with other elemental traditions, the surest path to discovering Water magic is to learn the secret name of water, usually from a genie or a similar being. A genie might reveal the word in the way sunlight dapples the water, or conceal the name in the laughter of a bubbling stream. The tradition is studied at most great institutions of magic, especially those near the coast, where plenty of material exists on which to practice the art.
