Well, flying units cannot fly over waterprovinces, so I thought they cannot enter them. So with the right magic item they can enter and probably even fly over them.

Hm, had hoped to have a wight mage for myself then. But I would really be interested how he looks like in the merc list.

Btw. is there a way to get full control of a merc?
I am quite sure I had a game in SP where a merc commander was suddenly a member of my own forces. but I don't know if that was some intended effect, or a bug.

As far as I know the only way to move over a water province is to have the sailing ability or forge a pocket ship. What you can do, if you are already in a water province and have the sailing ability, is sail over another water province onto the land.

I ran some tests and had no luck doing so. Had a merc cast transformation and charmed another one. In both cases they remained mercs. Enslave mind removed their commander status but they disappeared after the fight.
