Hydromancy

The man scratched his cheek. "This, you should have come with it earler." He said, grunting in protest as the other man tried to reason. Pressing his hand against the leg wound, he frowned at the vile stench of the yellow festering wound. "This will hurt, a lot." He muttered as he rose his hands to a bowl. Gently, strings of water were lifted from the wooden container, as he lowered the salt stenching liquid towards the injury. A boiling heat rose as the holy salts did their job, burning the infection out of the wound to allow dark red blood to once more pour from the opening. "Now, I just need to stitch this."

Basis

Hydromancy draws it's powers from water and at times other liquids. With ever changing forms and life giving properties, Hydromancy is a domains found within the school of shamanism underneath the mystic dicipline.
By drawing in liquids, or harbouring their cool or sometimes warmth, a hydromancer breaks down the molecules of water to store within their mana reservoir in the shape of aqua aspected energy, ready to be unleashed from their hands at the simplest command. The waters can also be bent from their surroundings, be it a bathtub, a skin of water or even the ocean. Although the power to split a whole ocean is a feat too grand for any man to pull of. Although the more water a Hydromancer have around them, the more powerfull they automatically become. Hence, a common school of magic among those who spend their lives at sea.
The dangers of hydromancy is the aspect of water overfilling the mana pool. While this isn't directly lethal, overfilling it too much can cause the wielder to become bloated and then explode. Though more often it's a less messy yet far more gruesome death by drowning, due to the overflow of water within them.
