The creature(s) will generally follow any specific verbal commands that you issue to them if the likely outcome is in accordance with its desires (no action required by you). For example you may command it to guard a particular chamber or corridor, explore the room ahead, or to attack a specific creature. If you don't issue any commands, they defend themselves from hostile creatures, but otherwise take no actions.
Augment
You can use an additional resource for each additional mana expended.
You can expend 2 additional mana to call forth another elemental.

As two actions, you, along with everything you’re wearing and carrying, transforms into a watery form. The spell ends if you drop to 0 health.
While in this form, the following rules apply:
- your only methods of movement are a speed of 2 meters and a swimming speed of 5 meters
- you can enter and occupy the space of another creature
- you have resistance to nonmagical damage and are immune to the exhausted, grappled, paralyzed, petrified, poisoned, prone, and restrained conditions
- you have advantage on Reflex and Fortitude saving throws
- you can move through a space as narrow as 2 centimeters wide without squeezing.
- you can’t talk, manipulate objects, attack, use maneuvers, or cast spells. Any objects you were carrying or holding can’t be dropped, used, or otherwise interacted with.
- you are wet. This wetness does not end if you take fire damage.
- the only actions you can take in this form are the Dash action or to revert to your normal form. Until the spell ends, as two actions, you can revert to water form.
If you are in water form and swimming when the effect ends, you ascend 10 meters per round for 1 minute until you reach the surface.
Augment
You can target two additional creatures for each additional mana expended. The creatures must be within 5 meters of each other when you target them.
Water Glide. You can expend 1 additional mana to cast this spell without concentration and modify the effect so your swimming speed increases to 100 meters. You can target five additional creatures for each additional mana expended. The creatures must be within 5 meters of each other when you target them.

As two actions, a 10-meter radius storm cloud appears centered on a point you can see within 20 meters directly above you. The spell fails if you can’t see a point in the air where the storm cloud could appear (for example, if you are in a room that can’t accommodate the cloud). The cloud moves to always stay directly above you.
When you cast the spell—and once on on each of your turns thereafter as an action—you can choose a point you can see within 10 meters. A bolt of lightning flashes down from the cloud to that point. Each creature within 1 meter of that point must make a Reflex saving throw.
On a failure, it takes 2d12 lightning damage and is deafened and can’t take reactions until the end of its next turn.
On a critical failure, it takes twice as much damage.
On a success, it takes half as much damage.
On a critical success, it takes no damage.
If you are outdoors in stormy conditions when you cast this spell, the spell gives you control over the existing storm instead of creating a new one. Under such conditions, each creature within 2 meters of the point must make the saving throw.
Augment
You can increase the damage by 1d12 for each additional mana expended.
As two actions, a bolt of lightning arcs toward a target that you can touch or see within 10 meters. The lightning can then arc to another target within 5 meters of the first target and a third target within 5 meters of the second target. A target can be a creature or an object and can be targeted only once. A target must make a Reflex saving throw.
On a failure, it takes 5d8 lightning damage and can’t take reactions until the end of its next turn.
On a critical failure, it takes twice as much damage.
On a success, it takes half as much damage.

concentration, 5 minutes/mana
As two actions, you can control any freestanding water within 100 meters inside an area that is a cube up to 20 meters on a side. You can choose from any of the following effects when you cast this spell.
Flood. You cause the water level of all standing water in the area to rise by as much as 5 meters. If the area includes a shore, the flooding water spills over onto dry land.
If you choose an area in a large body of water, you instead create a 5-meter tall wave that travels from one side of the area to the other and then crashes down. Any Huge or smaller vehicles in the wave’s path are carried with it to the other side. Any Huge or smaller vehicles struck by the wave have a 25% chance of capsizing.
The water level remains elevated until the spell ends or you choose a different effect. If this effect produced a wave, the wave repeats on the start of your next turn while the flood effect lasts.
Part Water. You cause water in the area to move apart and create a trench. The trench extends across the spell’s area, and the separated water forms a wall to either side. The trench remains until the spell ends or you choose a different effect. The water then slowly fills in the trench over the course of the next round until the normal water level is restored.
Redirect Flow. You cause flowing water in the area to move in a direction you choose, even if the water has to flow over obstacles, up walls, or in other unlikely directions. The water in the area moves as you direct it, but once it moves beyond the spell’s area, it resumes its flow based on the terrain conditions. The water continues to move in the direction you chose until the spell ends or you choose a different effect.
On subsequent turns, you can use two actions to repeat the same effect or choose a different one.
concentration, 1 minute/mana

The wall can’t occupy the same space as a creature or object and it needs to be vertical and to rest on a firm foundation.
