Water Magic

Water magic is the art of influencing water. Due to the healing traits of water, this kind of magic is also seen as healing magic, yet the mage can choose to turn to the more destructive side of water magic, and learn the art of Ice magic.

Origin
Back in the first era, during the great war the forces of light used water to improve the healing of their soldiers. During this time, they discovered how to improve this, and eventually, how to even influence water so it can be used everywhere without the need

of a bath. They taught these arts to the creatures of Kierra, so they can use them to heal their wounded. Unfortunately, the creatures of Kierra also saw certain other potential for water magic. They used it to fight fires, to water plants and farmland, but also for destruction since water, when used right, can be extremely hard or sharp and even turned into Ice

Philosophy
The philosophy around Water magic resolves around the healing attributes of water. It is seen as the source of life, and that that is why it has these abilities, but that that also explains why it can be destructive when used as ice.

Learning the art of Water magic
Water magic is known to be the safest form of magic to learn. In the worst case, one would get wet.

For one to learn the art of Water magic, one must learn how water heals and how it moves. It is common for new water users to spend hours studying the sea or other big oceans of water. As they watch the water move about, they can try and imitate it, slowly learning how water moves and with this, slowly learning how to influence with it.

After the mage mastered the basic of influencing water, he can use it to quicken the healing process of wounds. It would start with being able to heal small wounds, like paper cuts, at a slow phase, but slowly the mage can learn to use the healing abilities of water at a greater scale, and for more severe wounds.

When mastering the art of influencing water, the mage could, if creative enough, learn how to use water for more destructive means and learn how to become an Ice mage.

Abilities
There are two types of water mages, Healers and Ice mages. Healers use the healing abilities of water to heal others, whilst Ice mages use the destructive ice traits of water to fight their foes.

The abilities resolving Water magic are mainly healing. Depending on the concentration and energy control of the mage the speed of healing and maximum size of the wound that can be healed are limited.

The abilities resolving Ice magic are mainly used in combat. For example, an Ice mage may create barriers, ice spikes that he can 'shoot' at his target or freeze a small area
