The water in an aquifer bides its time, waiting to be tapped. When finally, the stone guarding it is cracked, it bursts forth from beneath, spewing out onto the land. When an opponent lands an attack that causes at least one health level of lethal damage, the Exalt who knows Hidden Spring Erupts may reflexively spend motes to send gushing water exploding out onto the foe. The foe is then sent flying away. The distance he is sent is equal to the exalts Stamina + 12 in yards. This is similar to a leaping dodge, only the attacker is cast away, not the defender.

Water washes away all things. Like a tidal wave against the shore, this charm acts to remove an opponent's equipment through sheer force. In an attempt to disarm, the Player adds essence to a normal attack roll. The opponent rolls nothing besides any parry or dodge attempt he may have. If the equipment is artifact, then add its rating to the difficulty of the attack.
Hand-Over-Sword Mastery

- Duration: Instant
- Type: Reflexive

- Prerequisites: Hidded Spring Erupts, Geyser Strike
The pebble is thrown into the lake, the lake splashes back, ripples and remains. An attacker will surely receive retaliation when facing an opponent with Hand-Over-Sword Master. When the Water Aspect is attacked and parries with a brawl action successfully, he may reflexively use this charm to make his own attack.
Lighten The Load

- Duration: Instant
- Type: Extra Actions
- Minimum Brawl: 6
- Minimum Essence: 5
- Prerequisites: Hand-Over-Sword Mastery, Tidal Bore Weapon Release, Many Arms of the Brawler
Being a master of both his watery essence and of neutralizing his opponent's equipment, the brawler may attempt a complete disarm. This attack not only involves the skill of quickly removing equipment, but also involves briefly making the opponents body fluid and pliable. The opponent recieves one dodge or parry attempt to this charm, which applies to all of its actions. After this, the Exalt using Lighten the Load rolls Dexterity + Brawl individually for each piece of pertinent equipment (weapon, armor, shield, etc.). Each attack is pitted against the one defensive maneuver plus any applicapble artifact rating.
