Ideas for water spells?

Remember the movie X-Men when the politician 'dies'?

A spell that turns the victim into water, killing him.

This can be a disintigrate-like spell where there's a Fort save to 'hold himself together' and only take partial damage, or it can be a Power Word Kill-type spell that is a bit more direct, or even a Wail of the Banshee-type spell that kills multiple people.

You could even call it Watery Grave or something else ominous.

There's a feat called Energy Substitution. You could make one called Elemental Substitution that would allow you to change a spell's elemental effects. Gust of Wind becomes a Blast of Water. Fireball becomes Waterball, Scorching Ray becomes a firehose-like blast. (This is pretty much how AE treats the elemental family of spells.) You could also go Energy Sub- Cold, since that's linked to water (and killing people with ice is kind of like killing them with water).

Both the Spell Compendium and Eldritch Sorcery (Necromancer Games) have some pretty good water-themed spells in them, as well as the Advanced Player's Manual (Green Ronin).

Liquify.... or Puree.

As for other ideas, A spell called Bloat that causes the target to swell inside their armour and receive crushing damage.

Waterball, an alternative for fireball. Plus it douses any nonmagical fire.

How about a spell that produces a blade that's effectively a jet of highly pressurized water (a la a pressure washer) it can do damage equivalent to a frost short sword, with the additional effect of an obscuring mist.

This makes me think it'd be a cool water-version of Blade Barrier.

Oh yeah, Wall of Water.

wow third time - either great minds think alike or many just do not bother to read....

would Grease work as a water spell? perhaps call it Slippery instead

I was thinking the same thing, except I missed the second time.

I was thinking of that, then thought it might be a variant of Rock to Mud.

Or, how about a spell that absorbs the 80% of your body that is water? Death by dehydration? Dehydrate sounds about right.

How about Geyser; deals 50% water damage, 50% fire damage.

Thinking of Yellowstone's Old Faithful.
