Re: Suggestions to improve the Water Magic discipline
When you want to design water spells, maybe you have to ask yourself, "what does the element of water and cold represent"
While some spells in circles and schools are spread willy-nilly all over the place, you can see that some themes exist, especially in the elemental spells. Fire is tied with aggression and anger, so you see many fire spells in Evocation and none in construction. Earth is more about fortitude and creation, so it's dominant in construction and you get many unbreakable units from it. Air is most closely tied to themes of deceit and mobility, since you get illusion spells like Phantasmal Warrior, Mists of Deception, and Cloud Trapeze.
What does water represent?
Edit: I feel like The Architect, spouting a bunch of crap and nonsense that's supposed to make people try hard to figure on. Also, I'd like to say that I can't think of a thing that water and cold reflects, therefore water seems to be a scattered and weak discipline.
