				 Water magic on land? 
 I've been playing ma tien chi on an all-land map.  I noticed that a significant portion of water magic spells deal with being underwater (summon kraken, water breathing, etc).
 Besides evo-2 cold bolt/beam/deathray/whatever, what early-game water magic is appealing?  Especially summons or items - how do I use all those stupid water gems?  The only thing I can come up with is clam of pearls, and that takes a bit of work to finagle.
 
 Bonus question - what's a river do, besides make a bright blue mark?  I didn't find it in the terrain section.
