Aquamancy

Aquamancy is the specialization of the element of water and may only be learned in New Celest, for it draws its power from the Pool of Stars. Water is a healing and benevolent force which is reflected by the spellcraft of Aquamancers, who can control large bodies of water as their demesne.

A typical Merian Aquamancer (by Turgeis)

Waterbourne

Your affinity to water is so great that you can survive within it no matter what the circumstances, even if it is stilled. Additionally, you will be able to sleep in watery environments.

This also will allow you to DIVE and RISE to the deep ocean levels as well as avoiding strong ocean currents.

Hailstorm

Syntax:

AQUACAST HAILSTORM

Damage Type: 50% blunt, 50% cold Damage Source: Magical

The skies will open up with a fierce storm of hailstones, which will smash down upon all your enemies in the room, except the Aquamancer who cast it.

Flood

Syntax:

AQUACAST FLOOD AQUACAST FORCEFLOOD

Power: 1 (Pool of Stars)

You may temporarily flood almost any environment, turning it into a watery location. If a location is currently the demesne of any druid or mage, you can FORCE it and break the meld in that location.

Meld

Syntax:

AQUACAST MELD AQUACAST SENSE AQUACAST WATCH ON/OFF AQUACAST DISSOLVE AQUACAST DAMPEN <effect> DEMESNE CENTER DEMESNE

The primary power of aquamancy is to build your own watery demesne. By creating a MELD between the water in a location and yourself, you thus build your demesne. Each new MELD must be adjacent to another. While in your demesne, you can SENSE who is trodding your waters and WATCH who enters and leaves. To check on its status, DEMESNE will show you where its center is, and what powers are curently active and how long they will last. DEMESNE CENTER will change the center of your demense to the current room. You can DISSOLVE your demesne at any time.

Influence

Within your own demesne, you will find your ability of influence to be more effective.

Deluge

Syntax:

AQUACAST DELUGE [DEMESNE]

This can be cast in a single water location or throughout your demesne. By releasing a deluge of heavy rain, the level of water will rise, forcing anyone to swim in order to move.

Center

Syntax:

AQUACAST CENTER

From anywhere in your demesne, you can instantly transport to the center of your demesne. If you are outside your demesne, but on the same plane and terrain type as your demesne, you may teleport back to the center of your demesne at a cost of two power.

Stillwater

Syntax:

AQUACAST STILLWATER [DEMESNE]

This can be cast in a single water location or throughout your demesne. By extracting the oxygen from water, you make any waterbreathing abilities, either natural or magical, useless. This has no effect on those with fluidswim who can keep their head above water.

Additional Notes:

Stillwater bypasses normal drowning protection.

Whirlpool

Syntax:

AQUACAST WHIRLPOOL

This must be cast in a location with water. You create a powerful whirlpool around yourself, and anyone in an adjacent water-logged and demesned location may be pulled towards you. When leaving your location, your enemies may find themselves unable to swim against the force of the whirlpool.

Dissolve

Syntax:

DISSOLVE <target>

You can dissolve the aura of protection around those who are using it to escape some of the powers of your demesne. This requires balance but not equilibrium and is a very fast attack.

Icefloe

Syntax:

AQUACAST ICEFLOE [DEMESNE]

This can be cast in a single water location or throughout your demesne. By chilling the water with slushy sheets of ice, your enemies will be chilled by this frigid environment. If it is cast for your demesne, it will only affect the region of your demesne where you stand, but as you move throughout different areas of your demesne, it will shift areas with you.

Travel

Syntax:

AQUACAST TRAVEL <target>

Power: 3 (Pool of Stars)

You can travel to a target if both of you are in your demesne.

Healspring

Syntax:

AQUACAST HEALSPRING [DEMESNE]

This can be cast in a single water location or throughout your demesne. By transforming the waters into a healing spring, both you and your allies will continually be healed. If it is cast for your demesne, it will only affect the region of your demesne where you stand, but as you move throughout different areas of your demesne, it will shift areas with you.

Changelog:

• Aquamancy Healspring now heals the most wounded area first. (#122 on 03-25-2012)

NeedleRain

Syntax:

AQUACAST NEEDLERAIN [DEMESNE]

This can be cast in a single water location or throughout your demesne. The magics of these hard rains can wash away many elemental defenses, including levitation, water breathing, water walking, and some elemental damage resistance effects. The rains can strike personal enemies at any elevation. If it is cast for your demesne, it will only affect the region of your demesne where you stand, but as you move throughout different areas of your demesne, it will shift areas with you.

Turtle

Syntax:

AQUACAST TURTLE

Power: 10 (Pool of Stars)

Call a golden dragon turtle to gift you with a golden egg. The power cost will be significantly less if cast on the Elemental Plane of Water. The dragon turtle has two unique inherent abilities:

WATERGLIDE - The dragon turtle can walk over water.

Syntax:

BEAST ORDER BREATHE STEAM <target>

Beast Mana: 500

This is a unique breath attack and does more damage than any other breath attack.

NOTE: If you lose the turtle skill, your turtle will not abandon you; however, it will lose its special beast abilities.

Typhoon

Syntax:

AQUACAST TYPHOON [DEMESNE]

A raging storm will be summoned in your demesne, driving anyone flying painfully to the ground. It will only affect the region of your demesne where you stand, but as you move throughout different areas of your demesne, it will shift areas with you. It will also block use of natural forest when cast.

Currents

Syntax:

AQUACAST CURRENTS

Currents may only be invoked within your demesne. All enemies within your watery demesne will be pulled by currents. The further out from the center of the demesne, the greater frequency the currents will hinder your enemies.

Changelog:

• Aquamancy Currents will no longer bypass walls or other obstructions. (#241 on 10-10-2014)

Jellies

Syntax:

AQUACAST JELLIES [DEMESNE]

This can be cast in a single water location or throughout your demesne. Tiny jellyfish will infest the waters, stinging your enemies and stunning them. If it is cast for your demesne, it will only affect the region of your demesne where you stand, but as you move throughout different areas of your demesne, it will shift areas with you.

Bubble

Syntax:

AQUACAST BUBBLE <target>

Power: 8 (Pool of Stars)

This can only be cast within your demesne. You may surround your target with an enormous bubble, which will bob around within your demesne and then pop. While in the bubble, the target may not perform any action. Aquamancers have been known to cast this spell on themselves for quick escapes in emergencies.

Staff

Syntax:

AQUACAST STAFF POINT STAFF <target> [direction] WHIRL STAFF RAISE STAFF TWIRL STAFF

Power: 10 (Pool of Stars) Damage Type: 50% Cold, 25% Blunt, 25% Asphyxiation (point staff) Damage Source: Magical Damage Modifier: 15

The ultimate weapon of the aquamancer is a staff created from the pure waters. By wielding the staff you may POINT STAFF at a target and shoot a blast of icy water at your target. You can RAISE STAFF to surround yourself with a protective shield of water, which defends against extreme hot and cold. With WHIRL STAFF, you can reveal anyone hiding in your location. Finally, you can TWIRL STAFF which invigorates you, slightly increasing your health, mana and ego. The power cost will be significantly less if cast on the Elemental Plane of Water.

Preserve

Syntax:

AQUACAST PRESERVE <target>

Power: 2/4 (Pool of Stars)

This powerful attack attempts to freeze your target. If the target is not chilled already, it will cost 2 power to chill the target. If the target is chilled already, it will cost 4 power and freeze the target as well as do damage. If your foe is frozen already, it will cost 4 power and greatly damage your target. If your target is frozen and at or below half health already, he or she will die and the body will be preserved in this frozen state.

Changelog:

• Aquamancy Preserve now strips dust balance instead of purgative balance. (#1076 on 10-10-2017)

Tuning

Syntax:

TUNE STAFF <percent> COLD <percent> BLUNT <percent> ASPHYXIATION TUNE STAFF CLEAR

Power: 1 (Pool of Stars)

As your connection to the pure waters grow, so does your ability to control the staff you have fashioned from them. You may TUNE STAFF to choose what percentage of your damage is in the form of cold, blunt, or asphyxiation damage. You may also TUNE STAFF CLEAR to return your staff to its original balance.

NOTE: Percentages may range from 0-100 for each damage type, but must be multiples of 10 and sum to 100.

Your watery demesne will surge with elemental power and become imbued with: Stillwater, Needle Rain, Jellies, Typhoon, Tsunami, Deluge, Healspring, and Currents.

Liquidform

Syntax:

AQUACAST LIQUIDFORM ENGULF <target>

Power: 10 (Pool of Stars)

By becoming one with the purity of water, you will heal your wounds and cure many ailments you may suffer from. You may only go into liquid form while in your demesne and may not leave your demesne while in liquid form. While in this watery form, you are impervious to attack, and your body and mind will become greatly healed. Further, you may ENGULF another and heal that person's health with the pure waters. Such is the power of this form, that you may not maintain it for long.

Maelstrom

Power: 10 (Pool of Stars) Damage Type: 25% Electric, 25% Heat, 25% Asphyxiation, 25% Unblockable Damage Source: None
