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. The first level requires a bonding trial to empower the spellcaster. 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. Bonding trials are events of big importance to the mage as they represent their progress and path to attain the true mastery over their element.

Lvl 7 to Lvl 8 | Self-study. Show proof of self-study in lore ticket 8 times. | |
Lvl 8 to Lvl 9 | Self-study. Show proof of self-study in lore ticket 10 times. | |
Lvl 9 to Lvl 10 | 1 Session | Event at Hallowed Grounds |
After choosing a path, the spellcaster will automatically increase in level if they can show proof of self-study. The caster can level up once every IC year or twice if that year is their primal season. Amber Dawn is the primal season for aquamancers.
Bonding trials are still required to level up between certain levels as seen above with "event". For more information about self-study, check the magic rules page.

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.

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

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.

This can be done in two ways: making contact with an already present body of water and casting to spread the ice until the desired form is achieved. The more difficult way of creating ice is through a channelled cast, pulling water vapour from Aros. The second option is much slower and has greater limits on the size and strength of the formed ice. This magic is mostly seen in combat, where weapons of ice are formed mid-air while being flung at a great momentum magically. | |

Range | 10 meters [Radius] |
Damage | The caster casts a fog in a vast area around them for 3 rounds. This cloud's center will be where the caster stands. By rolling a D3, the fog takes one of three possible forms:
1= Freezing: The fog applies a 4-meter slow. 2= Ice cold: The fog applies Frostbite dealing 1 damage at the start of someone's turn, or if you enter it on your turn. 3= Ambient: The fog applies blindness.

Range | 6 meters |
Damage | The caster summons 4 tendrils from nearby water or their tear, surrounding themselves. The caster can control these tendrils for one of the following actions:
Slam: The tendrils smash targets within a 6 meter area around the caster. This deals 3 damage, 6 meters knockback, and slows targets by 2 meters for 1 round. Throw: The tendrils lurch out to grab up to 4 foes within range. A target must succeed a DC 12 agility saving throw or be grabbed by the tendril, and then thrown up to 12 meters away. If thrown, the targets receive D3 damage on impact and deal D3 damage to targets they are thrown at. |
Critical Failure | Only one tendril is summoned, wrapping around the caster making them stunned for 1 round. |
Critical Success | The tendrils remain for an extra round. |

The user can conjure a turtle’s scales and use them defensively in the form of a shield. The shield is circular in shape and resembles a normal round shield. The shield then attaches itself to the caster's arm of choice and can be removed easily. | |
Level | 3 |

Range | Self |
Damage | Upon successfully casting the spell, the mage’s tear widens to let through a group of turtle scales which fly out one by one to form a shield on the caster’s arm of choice. The shield is used like a regular shield, but is +2 stronger. The caster is slowed by 3 meters while wielding the shield. The shield can be wielded until dispelled and as long as they are within range of their tear. |
Critical Failure | The scales don’t form a shield and fall to the ground, useless. |

If a pufferfish lands on a target space, it acts as a landmine for 3 rounds that explodes if someone moves while within a 5x5 area of it. Targets within this explosion take 2 damage and are paralyzed for 2 rounds. The paralyzed duration stacks with each pufferfish hitting the same target. |
Critical Failure | The caster is stung by their pufferfish mid-summon, poisoning themselves for D2 rounds. |
Critical Success | An extra pufferfish is summoned. |
Red Lines | The pufferfish cannot be eaten or used in any other way other than the spell attack. They will disappear as soon as the mage stops casting. |

Critical Success | The mage rolls a D3+2 rather than a D2+1 to see how many familiars they may command. |

Red Lines | The caster travels to their target even if they defend successfully. The target must be in the caster's line of sight. |
Tide Call | |
Amassing their energy, Aquamancers can open an elemental rift, pulling water in massive amounts out of it. Said rift doesn’t seem to affect any pre-existing matter, either opening in mid-air or within the hands of the Mage. As mentioned, water will continue to stream out of the rift, creating a tsunami-like wave and flooding any vicinity around the mage. Several aquatic animals can be found within the stream of water, ranging from small crabs to jellyfish and sometimes even larger animals, such as sharks. | |
Level | 5 |
Casting Value | 20 |
Range | 30 meters |
Damage | The caster conjures a tsunami, affecting all in a 30x10x20 radius in front of them. The caster rolls a D3+3 to determine the base damage of this spell. Now they will need to roll a D5 to determine the animals brought into Eden through this spell.
1 = Crabs, D2 is added to the spell's damage. 2 = Squids, enemies are blinded for D3 rounds. 3 = Jellyfish, enemies are shocked for D3 rounds. 4 = Pufferfish, enemies are paralyzed for D3 rounds. 5 = Sharks, 2d2 is added to the spell's damage. |
Critical Failure | The caster’s spell backfires and deals D6 damage to themselves. The user also becomes covered by sea stars, making them unable to block any attacks against them, and also makes the user unable to attack for 1 round. The caster has seen limbs bent abnormally due to the strong currents moving over. Occasionally a shark could even bite off a limb. |
Critical Success | The spell deals maximum base damage, and the caster can choose from the D5 summons. |
Red Lines | Any water and animals will vanish as soon as the caster leaves the area. This spell will leave the entire area with coral scraps and can destroy one building of moderate size.
Attempting to cast this spell can only be done once per OOC week and requires Loremaster's supervision. |
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 can spend an action to gain +2 intelligence for D3 rounds. |
Red Lines | The intelligence boost of this spell has a cooldown of 4 rounds. 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. |
