"Water magic is equally defensive and offensive and concentrates on spells that move or change things. Expert and master ranking permit access to greater versions of water spells."
Water Magic is a skill in Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven that allows the character to learn and cast water magic spells. Skill mastery affects what spells are available, and the effects of those spells. Archers, sorcerers, and druids can learn the skill.
Spells[]
To learn master water magic, characters need 12 ranks in the skill.
