This spell creates a limited empathic bond between the caster and the Elemental Plane of Water – allowing him to sense water anywhere nearby (including concentrations of water vapour, such as mist or steam) and, when submerged, to perceive his surroundings clearly through a magical sense akin to sonar.

This sonar-sense only functions underwater and replaces his normal vision when active, but provides excellent awareness of his surroundings regardless of direction or light – although it does have limited range.

In addition Water Sense allows its caster's senses to operate more clearly in mist or fog – halving any Awareness penalty he may suffer due to water vapour in the air.

Mist Sense: Halve Awareness penalties caused by water vapour such as mist or fog
Water Detection: Sense type, quantity, distance and direction of any water within Sense Range
Awareness Bonus: +2
Maximum Sense Range: Sphere with radius of 30m (Minimal), or 50m x Power
