Water scholar

“I can show you all sorts of things: to look at people from afar, to throw people around the seas, even to call up a living elemental of water.”

—Jissashial, Grand-Master of the Waveborne

Drawing from the element of life, water scholars weave spells of mending and healing. They offer protection as well as succor, yet they are not to be provoked, for they control battering waves and deadly ice.

Introduction

Encompassing the powers of healing, protection, and knowledge, scholars of this sphere draw their influence from the powers of water.

Resonating with lawful and good tendencies, scholars who are chaotic or evil cannot choose this sphere as a discipline.

Mixed Spheres

All scholars have the option of choosing a minor field of study to complement their major, a choice which grants them access to the lesser spells of that sphere.
