This spell creates a moveable area, centered on the caster, allowing non-aquatic creatures to breathe and operate normally.

• The area of effect is centered on and moves with the caster.

• All water in the area of effect becomes breathable and easy to move through. 

• The caster cannot swim but will sink slowly to the bottom surface where they can operate as if they were on the surface (although the surface may be very muddy/soft). 

• Spells operate normally (as if on land) within the confines of the area of effect.

• Aquatic creatures see the area of effect as if a bubble (although, technically, it is not—the area is comprised of transparent micro-bubbles).

• Water breathing creatures cannot breathe in the area of effect and aquatic creatures with an Intelligence rating of Low or under will not enter the area of effect.
