Conjures a torrent of water that may knock back the target, and creates a pool of shallow water for a short duration.

This spell deals 50% physical and 50% drowning damage. Amphibious (Barachim, Merfolk, Octopode, grey Draconian), unbreathing (undead species, Gargoyle, Djinni, Death Form, Statue Form), and aquatic creatures are immune to drowning, and will take a total of 50% damage from the spell.

Players can produce a primal wave by evoking a phial of floods. This will also waterlog monsters caught in the wave, acting like Silence for those that need to breathe.
