Water
Water describes liquid flow, pressure, heat transport, dissolution, and the many living processes that depend on them.
Favorable in sanctioned battle Ice about +15% damage → A damaging Water technique receives the favorable matchup once when the target carries the listed Current.
Resisted in sanctioned battle Decay about −15% damage → A damaging Water technique receives the resisted matchup once when the target carries the listed Current.
Native technique about +5% damage If a creature naturally carries Water, its damaging Water techniques receive a separate native-attunement benefit.
If a hit would otherwise deal 100 damage, a favorable matchup makes it roughly 115 and a resisted matchup makes it roughly 85. Attack, Defense, guarding, conditions, critical hits, and battle variance still affect the final number.

9 documentedSpecies observed with Water
These species dossiers carry Water in the current public Collegium catalog.
Fenstilt Fenstilt are tall wading fenborn with spring-loaded legs, narrow probing beaks, and independently flexing toes that spread their weight across unstable mud.
Glimmerfin Glimmerfin are small amphibious shoaling fenborn with reflective lateral scales and flexible fin-limbs that let them cross short stretches of saturated mud between pools.
Havamor Havamor are broad coastal fenborn with powerful forelimbs, protective membranes, and a social tendency to carry unrelated juveniles toward nursery shelter.
Mirecoil Mirecoil are long-bodied semi-aquatic fenborn that brace against roots with rows of small ventral hooks.
Reedjaw Reedjaw are low-slung amphibious fenborn with broad crushing jaws and a reinforced chest used to force paths through dense reeds.
Siltback Siltback are massive marsh grazers whose overlapping keratin plates trap wet silt across the body.
Snowfluff Snowfluff are compact winter fenborn with layered insulating fur and broad paws.
Tideglass Tideglass are translucent schooling fenborn whose skin contains layered reflective cells that shift from nearly clear to mirror-bright as muscles contract.
