Water Magic

One must be as fluid as the water we use to become as skilled in mastering it. - Hydromancer

Water Magic is one of the more flexible types of Natural Magic that can be used in various ways. It all depends on the amount of creativity that a user of this magic can find to allow them to be as versatile as they want to be. All they need is to ensure they can maintain their water when used and replenish it with water from around them.

Manifestation

Flow of Water

Water Magic has a unique position in the area due to it not being restrained by certain areas of physical limitation that bind most elements to uses in their fields of expertise. As a liquid, it can take any form as it pleases and can change at will when required. This is done through the skill of the practitioner who has learned to understand the nature of the magic and work with it rather than forcing it to obey. Water lacks any means of keeping it in one place and goes wherever it wants without the worry of where it is going. To give up on trying to control it allows those who use it to be free of their minds of things that would restrain them otherwise.
It also allows them to understand the significance of water as a gift for it is the foundation of life all around, using it to help others rather they just harm them. As one of the few magics that can heal others through its power, it is a mandatory thing to learn when using it. To be able to sustain a life even in a serious condition is often one of the greatest blessings one can do with magic. It can even be used to deal with those of an otherworldly nature as well where most medicines will fail. Making one of the most desired forms of magic when people are looking for a healer to help those suffering from wounds and sickness.

Unending and Everlasting

To understand the water one should look at the rivers, lakes, and sea to know of its nature as always moving and changing no matter where it goes. They hold no secrets and are always reflected at whatever looks on their surface to reveal all they see. All that comes to understand it knows it finds a spiritual connection with it that connects them to the world itself. To become shapeless allows the water to go where it needs to be and stay as long as it needs to is how a user of this magic must act for one can not for water to bend, but to flow as it should. So long as they maintain this mentally the water magic will obey or it will strain their mind and stop any means of working. This leads to a unique relationship between Water Magic and the spellcaster using it as it requires cooperation from both groups to ensure that they can be fully utilized when they need or it will result in nothing bit failure in the end of it all.

Power of Force

To truly know the destructive power of Water Magic one must know the force that it builds in large amounts and that it builds up to cause such damage. Like the power of a flood or a wave that sweeps away all in its path in an instant should it cross path with it. The same can be said when something collides with it at great speeds or mass causing it to stop in its tracks as the water will now allow it to maintain its force and cause damage or even death to them. That is the key to using it in combat and environmental alteration, making the density and momentum of Water Magic the most important aspect of it that makes everything else work for it. It does not require much after that as all that is truly needed to make it work is a strong mind that can control it to its speed and density through the amount they have with them. This can even be used in more creative ways such as capturing something or someone in a sphere of water being unable to escape due to their power being reduced in an alien environment or even creating a condensed stream of water that can cut through things as they were a sharp blade itself. Those who have learned to do this are often the most powerful users of their craft being able to use any amount of water to become a weapon, even at times creating massive tidal waves that can crush all that face them at ease when they have enough of it to do so.

Localization

Domain of Water

Water Magic often has no real difficulties on where it can used as Water can be found in most places in the world. But the key to maintaining it is to have the air cool and filled with moisture to avoid having the water maintain itself without heat causing it to evaporate over time or when it spreads far from its source. The best places to use it are near or in water sources to maintain its power without fully depending on magic. Rain storms are also a good place to use as a constant supply of water surrounds them. The most challenging places to use water magic are in arid and desert environments due to the limited areas in which water can be found. This can limit the amount of time one can use this magic as the heat will cause it to dissipate faster, leaving them vulnerable as they use more energy to use it.

Water Magic may be considered dangerous due to its ever-changing nature yet it can also be a bringer of life as much as a taker of it. Knowing the power of water is often two sides of the same coin with those that are against it on the receiving end of its wrath and those in need of its blessing shall be given it when needed. It is something that cannot be avoided as water is found everywhere as far as the eye can see. It is something that most people who go against do not expect something they drink to cause so much harm even with the smallest amount being used. All they can do is hope that they don't have to deal with larger amounts of it preferably around bodies of water that can be used to wash them away or drown them. Those suffering from injuries and sickness can find it a blessing as its purity will remove their pain and heal them.

Areas of Interest

Adaptability: Water being mainly shapeless allows it to move freely with the worry of falling apart or dissipating from most environmental effects that make contact with it. This means that it can easily be used in combat and support roles without the issue of being restrained by physical limitations and can allow them to adapt when needed. Its ability to change its density in liquid form can also be used in specific situations can make it easier to solve problems. But the true power of the magic lies within its users themselves as they must know how to use their minds to create what they want through the water itself.
Control: Considering that a user must constantly concentrate when using water, it can be a taxing endeavor on their mind to be able to maintain it. Making it paramount that they maintain their concentration to shape their water at will and its shape at all times or have it become formless lacking the ability to be used for whatever they need. Once a practitioner learns to master their control over water they can refine it with small are small amounts to make themselves skilled in the field and alter it at will.
Manuverabilty: Without any means of restraint, water can move around more easily than other elements even in the middle of a spell if needed. This can allow a user to move their magic more easily to where they want it without the worry of it being in the wrong place and being able to divert it to where it needs to be. This can make it difficult for anyone trying to avoid or get around it when it can be altered at any given time.
