IMHO it's misleading to talk about the water bonus in terms of AP bonus, because it's actually an *action* bonus. Getting two actions per turn means your AP is *effectively* doubled in the sense that yes, you can move twice as far in one turn, but it's not true that having twice as much AP (e.g. by wearing lighter armor) will increase your number of actions. AP is strictly about movement.

BTW, note that if you have two actions or more per turn, it is possible to participate in melee combat AND spellcast (although you can never cast more than one spell in a turn). This means that a W9-blessed priest will have an improved chance of casting spells in melee combat. That could be important if you were doing a Caelum-style [Attack, Shockwave, Attack, Shockwave] combo.
