Hydrophobia

Name: Hydrophobia

Class: Release 

Tier: IV

Type:Defensive/Illusion

Range: 50 Meters

Description:  Kvothe can activate this ability to cause water to race out at cero speeds in an area of his choosing within range, essentially flooding the area. This body of water has a depth of about 4 meters and is not subject to the normal laws of physics; for example, if Kvothe floods an area in the air the water can stay there if he so chooses. Upon hitting it's max range the water stops as though a wall were containing it. With no obstructions, the water would appear as a 50 meter cube that is 4 meters high. This flood is laced with Kvothe’s reiatsu and coming in contact with it instills a fear of drowning and water itself in the afflicted while striping them of their ability to swim; from that point onward coming into contact with any source of water will cause an advantage based stun. As the fear serves no purpose but to stun the target, relative levels of fear are proportionate to the stun guide. This stun cannot be triggered more than once on the same target within 3 posts. As with all of Kvothe’s abilities, this one is affected by Ripples: Kvothe becomes oil and the world becomes water; whether decelerated or accelerated, Kvothe becomes coated in a thin layer of the water-reiatsu mixture. When decelerated, the mixture causes attacks blocked from Hydrophobic targets to slide off of Kvothe reducing the post duration of this tech rather than damaging him. When accelerated, the mixture causes ranged attacks from Hydrophobic targets more than 15 meters away from Kvothe to curve around him. This Technique has a duration of 6 posts and when it ends, water from the flood disappears as does the fear instilled in the target(s). This technique can be overcome when Kvothe is at lower advantages.
