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

If you place nodes within 5 rooms of each other, the leylines will add the connecting rooms to your demesne.<br><br>
You may also BOND to a fellow aquamancer's demesne and assist them. Bonding increases the strength of the nodes and the elementals that defend them.<br><br>
While in your demesne, you can SENSE who dares to enter your waters and WATCH who enters and leaves. DEMESNE will show you what rooms are included in your demesne, and what powers are currently active. You can DISSOLVE your demesne at any time or CLEAR a specific node to remove it.

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 <tt>ENGULF</tt> 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.

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.

If you place nodes within 5 rooms of each other, the leylines will add the connecting rooms to your demesne.

You may also BOND to a fellow aquamancer's demesne and assist them. Bonding increases the strength of the nodes and the elementals that defend them.

While in your demesne, you can SENSE who dares to enter your waters and WATCH who enters and leaves. DEMESNE will show you what rooms are included in your demesne, and what powers are currently active. You can DISSOLVE your demesne at any time or CLEAR a specific node to remove it.
