So my mage will be useless until he either picks up earth magic and I trial and error and find a water spell or I find a scroll.
There's a water + concentration spell.
I can't say its good, as I haven't used it, and it doesn't seem like a damaging skill...
But there's also a level 1 concentration spell, and battlemages don't have to be so focused on spells anyways.
My battlemage mostly used light weapons, with some concentration spells and occasional firebursts.

Water magic needs its single rune level 1 spell just like the other elements have Fireburst, Shock and Poison Cloud. Seems like an odd oversight.

Water should have a level 1 that buffs or maybe heals/gives health regen?
i think of water as a supportive spec.
although a water/ice burst attack would also be fine, for parity.

I like the idea of water magic used for healing.
It could be the opposite of earth (aka poison). Single rune spell would be a party heal or regeneration, projectile could be a healing bolt of some kind. Which does good damage vs undead, but it actually heals anything living.

don't like the idea of heal to be honest. It would really make things a little to easy to just have one guy whos job it was to spam heal during fights.
But like a "splash" or "Frost" attack that is basically like every other elements 1 point attack would be fine. You know one square low damage.
