Hydromancer


What is a Hydromancer?

A

Hydromancer

, is a mage that is specialised with water based magic. This mage will primarily use water magic as well as their other spell casting. Their natural elemental affinity is water. However, some may say that water is the most difficult to manage as it dictates its space. A mage has a little chance to command the power of elemental water and only very few have successfully and completely succeeded. Any spellcaster who do wish to pursue water magic to become a

Hydromancer

are often seen combining it with a more general study of the ocean.

Warp Walkers -

The Magic of Water

Someone who wields water is likely to have incredible balance and a sense of self. Water can be used to nourish, bring peace but is also a great source of aggression and something to be feared. Many creatures lie beneath the oceans themselves and the goddess Lorelei takes great command of this element, granting unique water dwelling abilities to those of her choosing. Hydromancers are changeable like the tides, able to remain calm but can turn against you with little warning. Braitheld has a tendency to house more hydromancers than other realms. Water mages need to stay hydrated for more effective spells. Proximity to a body of water creates advantage for a hydromancer.
