Classification Elemental Magic
Energy Source Aros, the realm of Water
Casting Method Catalyst - Aquamarine Gem
Additional Paths Frigumancy · Marinamancy

Aquamancy is an ancient elemental magic, its origins dating back to the rise of the very first cities. It requires the user to channel their energy into the water around them and their aquamarine catalyst, after which the mage can manipulate the water to their whims. Aquamancy quickly became a favorite among the population, commonly used by sailors, fishermen, farmers, and gardeners to complete a variety of tasks, such as swimming without the fear of drowning, flawlessly defending oneself from danger by using the water present all around them, calming storms on the sea and, as some rumors state about the strongest of practitioners, waving away a tsunami. Practitioners seeking to learn Aquamancy typically travel to the coasts of the land, where this magic is commonly taught.


History

Aquamancy originates from the very first settlements, mainly those closer to the oceans or bigger bodies of water. Being a favorite among the population, commonly used by sailors, fishermen, farmers, and gardeners, Aquamancy quickly spread throughout the land. However, even in Eden, Aquamancy wasn't just something that appeared out of nowhere. Lhoran, the Tidebringer, was the first practitioner to use Aquamancy, who dipped into the Endless Ocean through years of meditation. A connection between the realms formed, allowing Lhoran to use the first spells. Through his teachings, Aquamancy began to rapidly spread all over the continent, traveling through ports and river civilizations as it found great use with the fishermen, sailors, and merchants.


Learning and Teaching

While most people assume Aquamancy is a simple form of magic learning, Aquamancy requires a lot of difficult training and learning. Aquamancers usually learn how water flows and acts on different surfaces. Most Students usually study oceanic flows. However, once they understand how water flows, their teachers often bring them to frozen landscapes where the student needs to learn how ice forms and behaves. Lastly, the student is brought to hot springs, where they need to study the behavior of steam. As such, Aquamancers are learning everything about the three different states of water. After completing such work, the student is taught about using their catalysts and how to dip into the realm of Aros and its endless ocean, pulling forth the first drops of water. The teacher can teach their student up to 2 levels under their own. So only level 5 or higher teachers can train their students to level 3.


To reach level one, a teacher needs to have at least four sessions with their student, each being at least sixty minutes long. To obtain level two, the student must have another four lessons of sixty minutes. To finally reach level three and the ability to teach magic themselves, the students need to have another set of four sessions, each with a length of sixty minutes. Each day one session can be held by the teacher and student pair. After finally reaching level three, the student doesn't require additional sessions and will reach level four automatically after some time of self-studying the magic. Each level requires a bonding trial to empower the spellcaster. Bonding trials can only occur in the season in which the magic has an intrinsic relationship. For Aquamancy, this is The Amber Dawn. These trials are usually done at or around the Hallowed Grounds of the magic type that is considered sacred by all those who practice that elemental art.

Level Increase Required Sessions Req .Session Length
Lvl 0 to Lvl 1 1 Session Event
Lvl 1 to Lvl 2 4 Sessions 60 Minutes
Lvl 2 to Lvl 3 4 Sessions 60 Minutes
Lvl 3 to Lvl 4 Self-study level up when The Amber Dawn or Emeral Dusk arrives.
Lvl 4 to Lvl 5 Self-study level up when The Amber Dawn or Emeral Dusk arrives.
Lvl 5 to Lvl 6 Self-study level up when The Amber Dawn or Emeral Dusk arrives.
Lvl 6 to Lvl 7 Self-study level up when The Amber Dawn or Emeral Dusk arrives.
Lvl 7 to Lvl 8 Self-study level up when The Amber Dawn or Emeral Dusk arrives.
Lvl 8 to Lvl 9 Self-study level up when The Amber Dawn or Emeral Dusk arrives.
Lvl 9 to Lvl 10 Self-study level up when The Amber Dawn or Emeral Dusk arrives.

After choosing a path, the spellcaster will automatically increase in level if they can show proof of self-study. The caster can level up twice every IC year during their primal season, The Amber Dawn or the one opposite of that, for Aquamancy.

Bonding trials are still required to level up between each level, but spellcasters can request those themselves after they move on to self-studying.

Progression - Frigumancy

When an aquamancer transcends their powers and chooses to become a frigumancer, they start to harness the power of frigid cold, and ice. Frigumancers are cool, calm individuals that don't mind spending time on their own. They might sometimes come across as rude or indifferent but that does not mean they don't actually care anymore. Frigumancers are able to bring out the solid form of water by freezing it solid using their magical energy. The tears of Frigumancers are connected to the edge of Aros, where cold energy imbues the Aros energy which allows for Frigumancers to draw their power more effectively.

Progression - Marinamancy

Once an Aquamancer becomes an Aros Seer, they may choose to further dedicate themselves to the exploration and love of the seas of Eseron. They will devote themselves to the path of Marinamancy that harnesses the power of the seas and everything that lives inside it more effectively. Marinamancers are more outgoing and adventurous individuals that love aquatic nature or nature in general. They're often observed near the seas and don't require boats to traverse them but can simply ride the waves. Their powers are known to extend to the creatures of the seas as well, imitating the creatures or calling upon some of them to help them in their times of need

Level Grimoire Slots Abilities/Bonuses

Limitations

While Aquamancy can be used to manipulate water, it can't be actively used to drown someone. As soon as water, called forth from Aros, enters a biological body, it vanishes into thin air, making it impossible for an Aquamancer to drown someone with their magic.

Additional Abilities

Purifying Prowess
The caster gets the purifying ways of water under their full control, able to heal themselves and allies.
Range Touch
Effect The healing that takes place restores D2 health, be it for the caster themself or a target of choice. As with any other action, only one can be used per round of combat. Outside of combat, this spell can easily heal cuts and bruises and sometimes even bigger cuts. An aquamancer can also reattach limbs, should they have been severed recently and able to be reattached.
Red Lines Life-threatening wounds, such as a heart puncture, fracture of the skull, or a giant cut in one's gut, cannot be healed by this spell. Reattaching limbs will cause the caster to lose consciousness immediately. Once used, this ability goes on cooldown for 2 rounds.


Aquatic Blessing (Marinamancy only)
The caster gains the ability to breathe underwater for long amounts of time, and they gain an extra edge in water-bound combat. If underwater, their base movement speed is twice as fast, being able to outswim people running and occasionally even horses.
Range Self
Effect Their base movement speed is doubled while in a body of water, and they can breath underwater. When the mage is drenched in water, be it by a pond, rain, river, or anything, they gain +2 intelligence.
Red Lines The ends of their hair look a little blue and see-through.


Icy Mold (Frigumancy only)
The caster reflexively creates a thin, transparent layer of ice all around their body when attacked. This effect may be cast even if the caster isn't aware of oncoming damage.
Range Self
Effect The mold is created as a free reaction, and protects the caster from D2 damage, even when the caster isn't aware of being attacked. This means the caster also can't prevent the mold from protecting them the moment it is formed.
Red Lines After absorbing all damage it can take, the mold breaks. The icecaster has to wait for 2 rounds until the ability can activate again. Upon reaching level 5 of Frigumancy, a mage's mold will be able to absorb D2+1 damage, coming at a cost of taking 3 instead of 2 rounds to recharge.
