Aq'ridan
Aq'ridan magic is a unique form of elemental manipulation possessed by Ananans, granting them unparalleled control over the element of water. Through transmutation, Aq'ridan Ananans can transform themselves and objects into water or dust, enabling passage through barriers and infiltration of water-containing entities. They shape and manipulate water, control its flow, project it for offensive or defensive purposes, and exhibit healing abilities. Aq'ridan Ananans can also influence the environment by controlling moisture, creating illusions using water, erecting water barriers, and unleashing water-based attacks. They demonstrate adaptability underwater, purify water sources, and manipulate ice. Guided by ethics, Aq'ridan Ananans use their magic responsibly in various aspects of daily life.

Manifestation
Aq'ridan manifests as a visual spectacle showcasing the power of water through manipulation and creation. The movement of water can range from a gentle trickling to a roaring waterfall, accompanied by corresponding sounds. Surfaces transformed into solidified water feel weightless and cool to the touch. When completely hydrated, the sensation is coarse and dry. The manipulation of moisture can affect smells in the air, and purified water tastes pure and clean.
Source
The source of Aq'ridan magic for Ananans lies in their inherent abilities and their deep connection to elemental magic. Ananans can manipulate the molecules within themselves and anything they touch, granting them control over water and its transformative properties. This power allows them to transmute themselves and objects into water or dust, manipulate the movement and shape of water, and project it in various forms. To reconnect with their magic and enhance their abilities, Ananans meditate, delving into deep states of introspection and focus. Through meditation, they strengthen their bond with the elemental forces and tap into the full potential of Aq'ridan, unlocking its vast range of abilities and enabling precise control over water and its related manifestations.
