Water Spiral

This technique is popular among both mages and water-based natures priests as both training, defense, utility, and offense. The caster concentrates and manipulates a flow of water around them, shaping it into a spiral when themselves at the center. Started as a technique to understand basic principles of water magic it expanded further as practitioners noticed other possible uses.

Effect

As a defense the spiral can be willed to block attacks by pushing them aside with the force of the water flow. This requires a bonus action and will increase the caster's AC by +2. When used on water it can draw the caster as cross the surface through resistance with the water below. As an action, the caster gains the ability to walk (glide) on the surface of the water, gaining a movement speed of 60 feet. As an attack the spiral can slam with great force against nearby foes, potentially knocking them over from the force. Make a ranged spell attack. On a hit, the target takes 3d6 Bludgeoning damage and must succeed on a Strength Save or be knocked prone.
