Make a Perception roll with penalties based on the long distance range penalties table depending on the range of the water to be detected based. You then know the general direction of the closest source of water around you. You then make an IQ roll to analyze the information you gather using this '6th sense' to determine the approximate distance to and size of the water as well as the general state of the water (Salt or fresh, clean or poluted, for example).

Base 20. Movement (levitation) +5), Requires Concentration -15%, Short Range -10%, Cost Mana (2) -10%, Divine Power Origin -10%.
Cost to Activate: 2 Mana

By spending 2 mana and concentrating on an existing source of water, ice, or steam, you seize control of a 1-meter area (1 hex) containing up to 50 lbs (22kg) of the material. Any attempt to control water beyond 1 meter subtracts the distance from your IQ roll. While maintaining concentration, you may perform one of the following:

Hydro-Shield: You swirl the water/steam into a protective veil. Provide DR 4 (Cold/Fire only) to allies within or behind the hex. If using Ice, it provides DR 2 (All Physical) but is Semi-Ablative (loses 1 DR per 10 damage taken).
Phase Shift (Quench/Boil): You may instantly change the state of the 50 lbs of ice, water, or mist/steam you control. (Ice cannot be turned directly into mist)
- Water to Ice: Creates Difficult Terrain (DX-2 to stand).
- Water to Steam: Creates Obscurement (-4 to Vision through the hex).
Slick/Tide: You "walk" or stretch the water up to 2 meters. Any hex the water moves into becomes Slippery (Requires a DX or Acrobatics roll to move through without falling).
Drown/Suffocate: You force a sphere of water over a target's head. Quick Contest: Your IQ vs. Target's HT. On a failure, they begin to Suffocate (B436). They can attempt to break free on their turn with a ST-4 or DX-4 roll.
Mass Condense/Disperse: Instead of controlling a hex, you may instantly clear all fog/steam in a 10-meter radius, or pull all humidity from the air to fill a small vessel.
Ice Bind: Attempting to turn water into ice to trap someone in the ice requires a Quick contest of your IQ vs their DX or Dodge. Bound targets can't move and suffer -4 dx and -2 dodge.
A bound victim can roll against ST to burst free of the ice (a Quick Contest vs. the Ice's ST which = 10 + the level of the power.),
Alternatively the ice can be destroyed, the binding ice has DR = to your Hydro-Shield DR, and HP = this powers level x 2.
Flow/Tide: "Walk" or stretch water up to 2 meters. You can use this to create Slippery hexes (DX-2 or fall) or move small floating objects.
Mass Condense: Instead of moving water, you can instantly pull humidity from the air to fill a small vessel or extinguish a torch-sized flame by dousing it with condensed moisture.

Water Control Level 2

Phase Shift: You can now instantly change the state of your controlled water from ice to mist or mist to ice.

Tidal Surge: You can surge the volume of your controlled water, allowing you to Shove an enemy using your IQ+2 as your effective Strength.
Hydro-Buffer (Reaction): You can use your Reaction to intercept physical or elemental attacks, applying your Hydro-Shield DR to the incoming damage.
Purify: You can touch a volume of water (up to 5 liters) to instantly filter out salt, mundane poisons, or sediment, making it safe to drink.

Water Control Level 3

Scalding Cloud: Your Phase Shift becomes more violent, you can now heat the water as you transition to steam.
- Boiling Steam now deals 1 point of Burning damage to anyone in the hex per turn.
Drown/Suffocate: You force a sphere of water over a target’s head. This is a Quick Contest: Your IQ vs. Target’s HT. On a failure, they begin Suffocating (B436) as long as they stay in the hex.

Additional Levels:

Gain +1 hex (and +50 lbs.) of water controlled.
Gain +2 DR with Hydro-Shield.
Gain +1 move for distance water can be moved.

You momentarily dissolve into a cloud of vapor and reform up to 10 meters away. You must have a line of sight to the destination. This bypasses physical barriers like bars or grates that mist could pass through. It takes at least one round to prepare to step before you move.
