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

|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>AQUACAST DELUGE [DEMESNE]</tt>
|-
|}
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==
 
{|
|-
| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''
|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>AQUACAST CENTER</tt>
|-
|}
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.

|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>AQUACAST STILLWATER [DEMESNE]</tt>
|-
|}
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.
 
{|
|-

|-
| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''
|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>AQUACAST WHIRLPOOL</tt>
|-
|}
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==
 
{|
|-
| style="background:darkblue; color:white"|'''Syntax:'''
|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>DISSOLVE <target></tt>

|-
| style="background:lightblue"|<tt>AQUACAST ICEFLOE [DEMESNE]</tt>
|-
|}
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==

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.

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.

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

Damage Type: Cold

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 node in that location. It will take some time to break a node and will require your full concentration.

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.
