Control Water
std, 0 Mana, ranged, concentration; you sieze control of an amount of water up to 25 cubic feet per level. It moves as you direct, flowing up to 15 feet laterally per round, and standing up to three times as tall as its base, but otherwise taking shape as you direct. Individual parts of the water can defy gravity, as long as they are connected to the whole, but the mass itself must rest on ground that can support its weight. Any portion of the water separated from the main mass collapses, no longer under your control.
Although you control the shape of the water, you cannot create any internal flux or force--meaning that, for example, a creature inside the water is able to move through it as well as they normally would, without the water itself somehow forcing them to remain inside. A creature might be thwarted in escaping horizontally, as you move the water to continually trap them, but you couldn't stop them from swimming upward and breaking the surface.
