Without air, you make no sounds. Water will not cut it. We can hear your voice when you speak because you are forcing air through your voicebox, which functions similar to a guitar. Without air, you speakin' a word. I don't think this spell goes that far.Also, I understand it's magic, and look at this. Alter Self is a 2nd level wizard spell that, with a single casting, allows you to breathe underwater if you give yourself gills, and you can do so for only 10 minutes/level. Water Breathing, on the other hand, is a 3rd level wizard spell that, with a single casting, allows you to breathe underwater for 2 hours/level, though you can divide this up between your friends.IMO, the breathing room that the spell gets for being higher level does not include the ability to speak underwater because all breathing room for being higher level was chewed up with the much longer duration and the ability of the caster to split the spell up among friends. Of course...that's just my opinion...I could be wrong. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
