"Water is the element of change."
― Iroh (Avatar: The Last Airbender)
"Be formless. Shapeless. Like water. Now, you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. You put water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow, or it can crash. Be water, my friend."
― Bruce Lee
"Water—the mighty, the pure, the beautiful, the unfathomable—where is thy element so glorious as it is in thine own domain, the deep seas? What an infinity of power is in the far Atlantic, the boundary of two separate worlds, apart like those of memory and of hope!"
― Letitia Elizabeth Landon

Capabilities[]

Users have the ability to create, shape, control, and manipulate water in all its forms. They possess complete control over water and its inorganic compounds in liquid, gas (steam and water vapor), and solid (ice) states, including the capability to change water from one state to another. This includes water itself, ice in any form, sweat, blood, steam, water pressure, and various other forms.

More skilled and powerful users can manipulate water-related weather phenomena, such as blizzards and rainstorms, and some can control the temperature of water at will. Offensive applications of this power include sending streams and waves of water, shaping water into gigantic constructs for attack, forming razor-sharp edges to slice opponents, or dropping water to smother enemies. Defensive applications involve levitating water in front of the user, creating large domes of water for protection, and forming walls of water. Supplementary uses include transportation by surfing on waves, creating bubbles of water for breathing underwater, and suspending oneself midair on an ocean by generating a gigantic waterspout.

Beginner Level: At the beginner level, users can generate and control water with basic proficiency. They can create small geysers, manipulate their shape and size, and control the water's temperature. Users are capable of producing simple water-based attacks and adjusting the heat intensity of the water based on its impurities. However, their control over water movements and effects may be somewhat limited, making it challenging to maintain perfect control.

Medium Level: As users progress to the medium level of water manipulation, their abilities become more refined and versatile. They can generate larger waves and manipulate them with greater control. Users gain the ability to create more complex water-based attacks, such as larger waves, streams of water, or watery constructs. They can create defensive barriers and control the spread of water over a wider area. Additionally, they can enhance the intensity and heat of the water, allowing them to inflict more damage and exert a greater influence over their surroundings.

Master Level: At the master level of water manipulation, users achieve mastery over the element, unlocking its full potential in all three forms: liquid, solid, and gas. They can manipulate water with exceptional skill, producing extremely large and powerful waves and tsunamis capable of engulfing entire areas or overwhelming multiple opponents. Users can generate massive waves to crash down on targets, causing extensive destruction. They have the ability to control the temperature of water at will, from searing hot to freezing cold, granting them supernatural control over water in its various forms.
