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.
