Water is the element of life, spirituality, and endless flowing cycles.

Water is matter in a liquid state and fluidity in general. In philosophy it is recognized as an element, sometimes as the first to form and the basis of all others, in others as the river that rings the world. Liquids often enable other elements to function, making earth fertile, filling the air with clouds and vapors, and either fueling or putting out fire. It is linked to the spiritual and nurturing side of life, and often considered a female element. Water powers often have subtle or indirect effects.

Water attacks can smash, drown, or be a corroding acid.
