Water is the great eroder. If compressed and focused, it can cut through things with tremendous speed and power. Not to mention the displacement and area denial effects of triggering a flash flood on command with Water III. As shown by Leviathan, water can possess crushing force and be used as a powerful defensive tool, as his Veil of the Whorl can reflect cannonballs if his magic isn't disrupted by specialized tools. Even then, his head reflects arrows and guns while his tail reflects magic.
