When affected by this spell, the caster and anything worn turns into what appears to be a puddle of water. This form cannot be absorbed or divided into smaller parts. It has the same hit points and strength as the caster and moves at half the caster's movement rate on land or in the water.
While in this form, the caster blends undetectably with a body of water, wet spots on deck, etc. The form does not drown in water and can swim at any depth the caster chooses. If desired, the form can flow out of the ocean, up the side of a ship, and onto the deck. This is as exhausting to the spellcaster as if he had climbed that distance in his regular shape.
If the form is attacked, it remains in one piece, but the spellcaster suffers damage. Weapons and spells inflict normal damage, and other objects injure as determined by the DM.
Notes: Uncommon in Sea of Fallen Stars region of the Forgotten Realms setting, rare for Water mages; otherwise, very rare.
