"Water is patient, Adelaide. Water just waits. Wears down the cliff tops, the mountains. The whole of the world. Water always wins."
― The Doctor, "The Waters of Mars"

And yet there is nothing better for attacking hard and strong things.
For this reason there is no substitute for it."

Associations

As one of the classical Elements, Water is associated with:

Limitations

  • Water Immunity
  • May be unable to create water, being limited to manipulating only from already existing sources.
  • Distance, mass, precision, etc. depend upon of the knowledge, skill, and strength of the user, and their power's natural limits.
  • Controlling and manipulating great bodies of water (ponds, lakes, seas, oceans) over an excessive period of time is exhausting.
  • Susceptible to Electricity Manipulation.
  • Can be opposed by Fire Manipulation, Magma Manipulation, or Ice Manipulation.
  • Those with Sand Manipulation could use silicate particles to absorb the moisture from water.
  • May not be effective against Oil Manipulation since oil is hydrophobic, meaning repelled from water.
