Syntax: cast 'drown' <target>
This much-feared working of the Waveborne attempts to fill a target's lungs with water, so as to drown them even on dry land. While so afflicted, the target will take an increasing amount of damage each tick from oxygen deprivation until he can cough up the water, an action he will automatically attempt each tick. Furthermore, he will be unable to speak normally and will find it difficult to cast spells. Those who can breathe underwater will take no damage, though as the water is still present it will continue to affect speaking and spell-casting, albeit far less frequently. This spell is harder to resist when cast over water, and harder yet if cast under water.
