"Manual of Arcane Mysteries" - Water: Water-Repelling Spell

Spell name: Water-Repelling Spell

Basic attributes: Intermediate water-element spell

Spell category: Support spell

Affiliation: None

Brief description: A water-element support spell that parts the water around a caster who is not of the aquatic races, allowing them to swim freely through rivers, lakes, and seas without hindrance.

Spell weaknesses: The caster must maintain the spell's hand seal continuously. While repelling water, remember never to open your mouth to converse or chat with anyone. If you encounter an enemy of the aquatic races, unless your own magical power is exceptionally strong, the wisest course is to turn around immediately and retreat toward the surface. Also, take care not to collide with foreign objects in the water.

Recorded appearance: In chapter 23 of volume three, "Dream of Three Lifetimes Beneath the Moon," Zhang Xingyan learned this spell through the Dragon Palace Princess Ling Yier's verbal instruction and personal demonstration, and successfully cast it in the clear, cold autumn waters of Poyang Lake.
