While you cannot affect water that is bound up in another pattern---such as the water in a life form---you can affect liquids that are //mostly// water, such as sea water, acid, swamp water or sewage. You can only cast this spell if you are near a sizeable body of water---ten tonnes or more, such as a river, pond or well. You can move one cubic meter---one thousand liters, or one //tonne//---of water per quick or simple action spent on your turn, and may move it a distance of up to five meters, to a maximum of fifteen meters away from yourself. This includes the quick action you would use to [[unbound:actions:sustain_a_spell|Sustain this Spell]]. If you affect a smaller mass, you can propel it at astonishing speeds; this allows you to cast [[unbound:magic:spells:water_lash|Water Lash]] as a Simple Action for no additional cost in Æther. You cannot Sustain the Spell if you move more than ten meters away from a source of water.
