"Is it the same rain
--that falls on the raging sea
Is it the same rain
--that falls on the hanging tree
Is it the same rain
--that falls on me"

- Sam Phillips, "Same Rain"

Book of Draga Marus

[form (water, waves) (ice) (rain) (liquids)]

The strength of rain, streams, rivers, and oceans are at the beckon of masters of Or Marus.  

Historically, some of the most terrible spells cast have originated from this magic art.  Cities have been erased by mighty waves, armies rendered blind and immobilized by driving rains, fleets have been lost to storms from Or Marus and Or Nol.

Dekàlans and the faithful of Draun believed that water carried the souls of the departed to the River of the Dead.  Priests of the death god's temple were given powers over water, and used it for centuries to wipe battlefields clean of lingering souls, too confused to know it was time to being the journey.

Of all the forms of magic, Or Marus (some will argue for Or Nol*) most closely resembles the natural state of swirling dimensionless Chaos.  This may explain why magic and water interact so seemlessly. Most Elementalists will attest that the energies required to animate stone or control fire far exceed the gentle pushes needed to control water.  This ease of control is attributed to the likeness of the states of liquid and Chaos.

* The argument for air is good, but air is less powerful than water.  More air than water is required to affect the same change.
